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!
