Anaconda Installed but Cannot Launch Navigator

Question

Anaconda  listed as  Python 3 6 0  Anaconda 4 3 1 64 bit     is in my programs and features list  but there is seeming no Anaconda Navigator desktop app  as their seems to be no icon on my desktop and I am unable to search for it through  Start   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  I also downloaded Anaconda twice  if that could be causing some of the problem  I have a Windows 10 laptop  if that is any help

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    Cheers  Hossam

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  Python36 DLL  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

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

I too faced a similar issue when  I was not able to find the Anaconda Navigator Desktop app in the start menu  But do not worry   Go to start Menu and Type Anaconda Navigator  Now within the apps menu you will find anaconda navigator with its icon  Click on that  After clicking you will find a command prompt dialog opened and a  exe file runs on your machine  Wait till it completes    The Anaconda Navigator app opens on your machine

What finally worked for me was    Uninstalling Anaconda Deleting all files that has  conda  in them - most of them should be located in  C  Users Admin 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
