Could this be because I have the 32-bit version of Anaconda downloaded and I have a 64-bit OS (I thought I should do this because Python on my computer was 64-bit) or because I downloaded Anaconda under «users» instead of Desktop.

Open up a command terminal (CTRL+ALT+T)
and try running this command:
anaconda-navigator
When I installed Anaconda, and read the website docs, they said that they tend to not add a file or menu path to run the navigator because there are so many different versions of different systems, instead they give the above terminal command to start the navigator GUI and advise on setting up a shortcut to do this process manually — if that works for you it shouldn’t be too much trouble to do it this way — I do it like this personally

How I solved this issue:
1. Be connected to the internet.
2. Open the Anaconda Prompt (looks like a regular command window).
If you installed the .exe in your /name/user/ location you should be fine, if not navigate to it.
Then start an environment.
conda info —envs
Then run
conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
Press y when prompted (if prompted). It will being downloading the packages needed.
Then run your newly installed Anaconda Navigator
anaconda-navigator
It should start, and also appear in your regular windows 10 apps list.

Yet another option which worked in my case on Windows 10: Try uninstalling your previous installation, restart the system and run the installation again.
Make sure you don’t start any programs before installing Anaconda. You will find the installation finishes without prompting any kind of errors.
Type in Anaconda in your Windows 10 Search bar. You will find Anaconda Prompt appear.

I figured out the reason as to why:
1-There seems to be no navigator icon
2-When conducting the above steps of running the «anaconda-navigator» command in prompt (whether cmd or Anaconda) it yields «anaconda navigator is not recognized as an internal or external command»
This was very frustrating to me as I’d installed the proper version multiple times with no avail.
To solve this problem :
- in the installation process, there will be an advanced options step with 2 selections one of which is unchecked (the top one). Make sure you check it which will add the navigator to the path of your machine variables.

I faced the same problem on Windows 10. As soon as I cleared my Path variable from edit environment variables option, the icon started to appear. It was occurring because I had previously installed python 3.6.1 on my computer and added it to my path variable as C:Python36;C:Python36DLL; and so on. There isn’t any need to uninstall Anaconda Navigator and start from scratch if you have correctly followed the steps mentioned at the documentation for it.

I had a similar issue today where only the prompt was available after installation.
Finally solved this by un-installing my regular python installation and then install anaconda(anaconda 3 v5.2.0, with python 3.6).
answered Sep 10, 2018 at 13:44
I also have the issue on windows when i am unable to find the anaconda-navigator in start menu.
First you have to check anaconda-navigator.exe file in your anaconda folder if this file is present it means you have installed it properly otherwise there is some problem and you have to reinstall it.
Before reinstalling this points to be noticed
1) You have to uninstall all previous python folder
2) Check you environment variable and clear all previous python path
After this install anaconda
your problem will be resolved if not tell me the full error i will try to solve it

While Installing make sure you are connected to Internet.
If already installed anaconda, open the anaconda command prompt and type following command:
conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
(internet connection is required)
Note: In some cases restarting may solve the issue of navigator.

What finally worked for me was:
- Uninstalling Anaconda
- Deleting all files that has «conda» in them — most of them should be
located in: C:UsersAdmin - Delete especially the «condarc» file.
- Reboot
- Installed 32-bit installer (even though my system is 64-bit) and reboot
Finally worked. I have not yet re-tried with 64-bit installer, since I have a time critical project, but will do when again I have spare time.
P.S. what broke Anaconda for me was a blue screen I got while updating Anaconda. I guess it did not clear all old files and this broke the new installs.

This tutorial will cover step by step instructions to install Anaconda on Windows. You will also learn how to update, write your first program and uninstall Anaconda. This is going to be awesome learning, in case you are a developer or exploring Anaconda and Python.
Let’s deep dive in with these topics —

What is Anaconda
Anaconda {a.ka. Anaconda Python} is a Python and R programming language distribution for scientific computing. All predictive analytics, data science, machine learning and big data falls under scientific computing.
It’s helps to simplify package management and deployment. Anaconda is available for all platforms like Windows, macOS and Linux.
There are two version available to install Anaconda in Windows —
- Anaconda distribution or Individual edition, which are open source and free
- Anaconda Team Edition and Anaconda Enterprise Edition are paid
In this tutorial, I will cover the Anaconda individual edition. It comes with more than 250 packages automatically installed and over 7500 packages available in the PyPI repository.
Conda is an open-source, language-agnostic and cross-platform package manager. It helps to manage and deploy packages using the command line while Anaconda navigator is a GUI alternative to Conda.
System requirement to Install Anaconda on Windows
- Internet connection
- Windows 10 machine
- Approx. 2.7GB free disks pace.
** You don’t need python to be pre-installed because Python 3.8 automatically get install with Anaconda3.
Download Anaconda Python 3
Follow these steps to download Anaconda3 for Windows 10.
Step1.1- Visit Anaconda installers section on Anaconda.com
- Visit https://www.anaconda.com/products/individual > Scroll down on the page to the Anaconda installers section
- Select your Operating system
Step1.2- Download Installer «Anaconda» for Windows 10 ( 64-bit)
- Click on 64-bit Graphical installer (457 MB) to download Anaconda. If your system supports 32 bit only, then go for a 32-bit Graphical installer (403 MB) Anaconda download.
- Default Python 3.8 comes with it as a bundle. Later in this post, I will let you know, how to get the latest Python version 3.9 using Anaconda.
Alternatively, Just Click on below mentioned «Download buttons» to avoid all hassles.
Depending upon your internet speed, within couple of minutes, you will get «Anaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» in your Download folder.
If you are in search of Old or Archive version of Anaconda installer for Windows 10, Then visit «https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/».
Step1.3- Verify MD5 Checksum Keys for Anaconda installer
You need to perform this step to make sure you have a legitimate copy of Anaconda.
- Visit «https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/» and search for your Anaconda installer.exe, which you just downloaded.
- Look for the MD5 checksum Key written in the 4th column against your exe file.
For example, I will show MD5 Key for «Anaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» in the image for reference.
- Now Type «Command prompt» in Windows search bar and open it as administrator.
- Run the Certutil.exe command and provide the full path to your download file.
- Add MD5 in the last of your command. You will get a series of number.
- Match it with the key you got in Step1.3 from the Anaconda website. If all matches, you are good to proceed further.
C:Windowssystem32>certutil.exe -hashfile "path to your anaconda file" MD5
For example, I have added «C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe» as the file path in the command.
Then I got 0841ffcb927a3c2edbd682520f52e546 MD5 Key. And If you will look closely, it matches with the key we noted in Step1.3.
> certutil.exe -hashfile "C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe" MD5
#Output#
MD5 hash of C:UsersDevDownloadsAnaconda3-2020.11-Windows-x86_64.exe:
0841ffcb927a3c2edbd682520f52e546
CertUtil: -hashfile command completed successfully.
Now we know, that our Anaconda installer file is a genuine copy. Let’s go ahead with the installation steps.
Installing Anaconda on Windows 10 is pretty straightforward. You just need to decide on few options carefully.
Let’s deep dive into Anaconda installation steps —
Step2.1- Run Anaconda3 (Python) installer
- Go to your «Download» directory, where the Anaconda installer exists.
- <Double click> on the Anaconda installer file to run the setup.
Step2.2- click Next on «Anaconda Welcome Screen»
Click Next on the «Welcome to Anaconda3 2020.11 (64-bit) setup» screen.
Make sure you have close all other applications before starting this setup. Because it may avoid updating important relevant system files. A system reboot will become mandatory in that case.
Step2.3- Accept End User License Agreement (EULA)
Select «I Agree» on End user license agreement page.
Step2.4- Select Anaconda installation type
On this screen you will get two options —
- Just me — It’s the recommended option. If you will select this option, you can install Anaconda on Windows without admin rights. But if your system is used by more than one user or developer. He or She will not be able to access it. I will go with the «Just me» option.
- All users — If you have a system, where more than one user will use Anaconda to develop scientific programs. You should select this option. Although you will require Admin rights on this system.
Also take a look on couple of extra steps, if you want to install Anaconda on Windows for multiple users.
Click Next —
Step2.5- Choose Anaconda install location
Select Destination folder, where you want to install Anaconda on Windows 10 system. By default, Anaconda3 will get install in the «Users home directory«. For example, it is in C:usersDevenderanaconda3 in my case.
If you want to select different folder, then click Browse and choose your preferred folder.
I will go with default installation folder.
Hit Next, once you are ready.
Step2.6- Choose Advance installation options
You have flexibility to customize your Anaconda integration with Windows. There are two options available —
a. Add Anaconda3 to my PATH variable — I will not recommend you to select this option. Because setting up the Anaconda PATH variable can mess up with your previously installed software. Alternatively, you can open Anaconda Shell or Navigator using the Windows start menu. Let’s don’t tick this check box.
b. Register Anaconda3 as my default Python 3.8 — You can go with this option because it helps other software to detect Python 3.8 as primary. If you don’t want to set Python 3.8 as default, in case you are using some other python version. You can uncheck this option also.
I don’t have any other software or Python installed. So I will leave «Register Anaconda3 as my default Python 3.8» selected.
Click on «Install» button to move further.
Step2.7- Let Anaconda installation complete
Now you can relax and get a cup of coffee. This setup will take few mins to install Anaconda on Windows 10.
You can tap on «Show details» to check the details of actions happening during installation.
Step2.8- Install PyCharm Pro with Anaconda (Optional)
On this screen, Anaconda setup suggests you installing the PyCharm Pro editor. Actually, PyCharm is an IDE (integrated development environment) designed especially for Python programming by Jet Brains.
Let’s talk about PyCharm later in some other tutorial.
Click Next —
Step2.9- Finish Anaconda Installation Wizard
As soon as you will Finish completing the Anaconda3 setup. You will be redirected to the «Anaconda tutorial and the «Getting started» website of Anaconda.
Uncheck these two options on final screen to avoid redirection to Anaconda website for tutorial.

Congrats!! you are done with latest Anaconda installation in Windows.
How to run Anaconda in Windows using CLI and GUI
When you install Anaconda on Windows, you get a lot of bundled scientific packages with it like Spyder, Python and Jupyter notebook.
There are two methods to run Anaconda in Windows. If you are a CLI (Command Line Interface) fan, you can use Conda to run on the prompt.
In the case of GUI (Graphical User Interface), an Anaconda navigator can be used to manage packages, environment and launch applications.
I will show you both methods (Conda and Navigator) to create your first program. Just follow along :—
Step3.1 (CLI Method) — Create and Activate Anaconda environment
Let’s create our first test environment and run our first program in Python3.
Step3.1 (CLI Method) — Create and Activate Anaconda environment
To create your first environment, you need to launch Anaconda3 prompt application.
- Type «Anaconda» in Windows search bar > Select Anaconda prompt application > Click Open
Step3.1.2 — Activate conda environment
By-default, you will get base(root) environment in Anaconda shell prompt.
Run the «conda create» command to set up our first test environment (test_env) with Python3. It will also install the latest Python 3.9 and Pip 21.0 packages.
(base) C:UsersDevender>conda create --name test_env python=3
Please make a note, every environment is individual in Anaconda. You need to install required packages for each environment individually.
Press «y» to install packages.
Anaconda will download, extract and install packages required. Once done, you can activate your environment with Conda activate command.
For example, test_env is the name of our newly create environment. So I will run this command —
(base) C:UsersDevender>conda activate test_env
It will switch from base(root) environment to «test_env» environment as shown in image.
** Please make a note running conda activate command without an environment name argument, drops you in the base environment. So make sure you give your environment name.
Step3.1.3 — Run your first python program
Now run Python and Type print(«your first program«) and check the output.
(test_env) C:UsersDevender>python
You will get «>>>» prompt. Type print(«Hello Anaconda! World») from your keyboard and press Enter.
# Type your first program code" >>> print("Hello Anaconda! World")
Output should be «Hello Anaconda! World» as shown in image.
Type exit() to come out from Python prompt.
Hurray!! You have run your first python program in Anaconda successfully.
Step3.1.4 — Deactivate Conda environment
If you want to exit or want to deactivate any environment. You just need to run conda deactivate command.
For example, If I will run conda deactivate command inside my test_env environment. It will drop me to the default base environment as shown in the image.
(test_env) C:UsersDevender>conda deactivate
Step3.2 (GUI Method)- How to start Anaconda navigator and Launch Jupyter
Just to make things interesting, I will show you how to Launch the Anaconda navigator. Also, how to install and launch Jupyter notebook using Anaconda in your newly created test environment.
So follow these easy steps —
Step3.2.1 — Launch Anaconda Navigator in Windows 10
- Type «Anaconda Navigator» in Windows search bar > Select Anaconda Navigator > click Open.
Step3.2.2 — Select your test environment (test_env) and install Jupyter notebook
Jupyter notebook is a web based tool to interactively develop and present data science projects.
You can launch Jupyter notebook from <start menu> or search bar also. But It will get launch from base(root) environment by-default.
Here I will show, how you can install and launch Jupyter notebook in your custom environment. For example, test_env in my case.
- Select your environment from drop down > click on the «install» button in Jupyter Notebook application.
- Please wait and let Jupyter notebook installation complete. You can monitor the progress in Navigator task bar.
Step3.2.3 — Launch Jupyter Notebook in Anaconda navigator
Click on Launch button of Jupyter notebook.
You will see a Jupyter home page in your default web browser. The default URL path of Jupyter notebook will be http://localhost:8888/tree.
Step3.2.4 — Create your first Jupyter Notebook with Python3
Select New > Python3 notebook.
Step3.2.5 — Run first python program using Jupyter command cell
To run your first sample python program in Jupyter notebook. Follow these 3 steps —
- Type «print(«My First Notebook») in Jupyter command cell
- Click on Run button as shown in image
- You will see output as «My First Notebook«.
You can also save this file. Go to File > save as > provide the file name (path) and you are done. This was just the basic, For more details, checkout Jupyter documentation.
Enjoy! Anaconda and Jupyter in your development journey.

How to fix the error: there is an instance of Anaconda Navigator already running
On Windows
To resolve the error “there is an instance of Anaconda Navigator already running” on Windows, one solution is to locate and terminate the ‘pythonw’ process that is causing the issue. This can be done by following these steps:
- Open a command prompt window with administrator privileges.
- Use the command “tasklist | findstr “pythonw”” to locate the process ID (pid) of the ‘pythonw’ process.
- Use the command “taskkill /f /pid <pid>” to terminate the identified process. This should resolve the issue and allow you to successfully launch Anaconda Navigator.
On Ubuntu
the solution is to first use the command “killall Anaconda-Navigator” in the anaconda prompt to end the current running instance. Then, use the command “anaconda-navigator –reset” to reset the navigator and launch a new instance.
