How to open Anaconda Navigator with Windows 10
I want to experience Anaconda Navigator in person. Recently I opened it on a regular PC and used it as if I had been using it all my life, the problem is that that PC is using Windows 7.
However, my laptop has Windows 10 and it doesn’t work. An hour later Anaconda was installed and the navigator did not appear. I don’t know if it’s the whole Windows 10 or just my machine, but it seems to me that the navigator should be somewhere. The problem is that Windows 10’s Start option doesn’t allow users to actually search for files on their computer (which is too bad because it makes everything difficult), so only anaconda prompts and some “web search” appear. Completely useless.
I did try Anaconda in a previously posted issue ( Anaconda Installed but Cannot Launch Navigator with the help of anaconda prompt, the same problem as mine, some of you mentioned that I should try commands ‘anaconda-navigator’, ‘anaconda- navigator as’, ‘anaconda navigator’, etc. None of this worked in any possible way. These commands were ignored because they just invoked bugs that I didn’t know about.
Does anyone know what I should do/try and leave the option to reinstall Anaconda as the last option if possible? Thank you guys, it was really helpful.
PS: I downloaded the latest 64-bit Windows version on Anaconda’s official website
Solution
Open a terminal (win+r and enter cmd and press enter).
Call conda info (Conda should be installed.) )
One of the response fields should be base environment : followed by a directory.
There should be a Scripts folder in that directory that contains the anaconda-navigator application. Hit it and be patient while it spins. The navigator should open. You can point shortcuts here and more.
