Yes to have both installed No to uninstall 3.7 and install Anaconda.
Yeah, they can be removed. The Live install method works by copying the actual Live contents to the target system, and of course Anaconda has to be part of those contents so you can run it and do the install. If space is at a premium, you can remove them. Yes, is only a installer.
From the docs:
To uninstall Anaconda open a terminal window and remove the entire anaconda install directory:
rm -rf ~/anaconda
. You may also edit~/.bash_profile
and remove the anaconda directory from yourPATH
environment variable, and remove the hidden.condarc
file and.conda
and.continuum
directories which may have been created in the home directory withrm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
.
Further notes:
~/anaconda3
dir instead of ~/anaconda
.~/.anaconda
hidden directory that may be removed.PATH
is modified in one of your runcom files, and not in your shell profile. So, for example if you are using bash, be sure to check your ~/.bashrc
if you don't find the PATH
modified in ~/.bash_profile
.The anaconda installer adds a line in your ~/.bash_profile
script that prepends the anaconda bin directory to your $PATH
environment variable. Deleting the anaconda directory should be all you need to do, but it's good housekeeping to remove this line from your setup script too.
Package "anaconda clean", available from Anaconda platform, should uninstall safely.
conda activate your_conda_env # activate your conda environment
conda install anaconda-clean # install the package anaconda clean
anaconda-clean --yes # clean all anaconda related files and directories
rm -rf ~/anaconda3 # removes the entire anaconda directory
rm -rf ~/.anaconda_backup # anaconda clean creates a back_up of files/dirs, remove it
# (conda list; cmd shouldn't respond after the clean up)
Refer: https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall for more details.
Note: Also, you may want to edit .bashrc (or .bash_profile) & remove the conda path in $PATH environment variable for full proper clean-up
Removing the Anaconda directory helps, but I don't think that's a good idea as you might need to use anaconda sometimes in near future. So, as suggested by mwaskom, anaconda installer automatically adds PATH
variable which points to anaconda/bin
directory in the ~/.bashrc
file.
It looks like this
PATH="/home/linuxsagar/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
So, just comment out the line (add #
in the beginning of the line).
Then reload the ~/.bashrc
file executing source ~/.bashrc
Now, verify the changes executing which python
in the new terminal.
