[anaconda] Anaconda-Navigator - Ubuntu16.04

This is ubuntu16.04. I can open Anaconda-Navigator from the terminal using anaconda-navigator, but when I click on it, it doesn't open. What am I missing?

Use the following command on your terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T):-

$ conda activate
$ anaconda-navigator

To run anaconda-navigator:

$ source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate root
$ anaconda-navigator

it works :

export PATH=/home/yourUserName/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

after that run anaconda-navigator command. remember anaconda can't in Sudo mode, so don't use sudo at all.

Simply create a new text document called "anaconda-navigator.desktop" in your home directory by the terminal command:

gedit anaconda-navigator.desktop

Then enter the following in your text document:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Anaconda
Version=2.0
Type=Application
Exec=/path/to/anaconda-navigator
Icon=/path/to/selected/icon
Comment=Open Anaconda Navigator
Terminal=false

Save the file, then move it to your local applications folder:

mv anaconda-navigator.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

Once this is done, you will be able to search for "Anaconda" on your applications screen, right click, and add to favorites. This way you don't have to go through the terminal every time!

Finished Product

In my case, I don't need to set up anything further after installing Anaconda on Ubuntu

here is my screenshot for the version info.

I am using Ubuntu 16.04. When I installed anaconda I was facing the same problem. I tried this and it resolved my problem.

step 1 : $ conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator?

step 2 : $ anaconda-navigator

Hope it will help.

If all the above methods are not working, you probably install anaconda with root privileges. Remove it with sudo rm -rf /root/anaconda3 and reinstall without sudo.

Try this:

First go to the anaconda3 binaries directory by running

 cd anaconda3/bin

and now use this following command to open the anaconda-navigator

./anaconda-navigator

add anaconda installation path to .bashrc

export PATH="$PATH:/home/username/anaconda3/bin"

load in terminal

$ source ~/.bashrc

run from terminal

$ anaconda-navigator

OPEN TERMINAL

export PATH=/home/yourUserName/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
anaconda-navigator

This will get you going! cheers!

I am running Anaconda Navigator on Kubuntu 17.04 & getting a successful launch of the navigator window. Not knowing any of your error messages or statement; you could try reinstalling with command: conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
