How Do I Open Anaconda After Installing Mac?

To open Anaconda Navigator, simply find it in your Applications folder or Spotlight. If it is not in your Applications folder, you can use the terminal to navigate to the anaconda directory and launch the program from there.
To use Anaconda from the terminal, first ensure that you are using the correct version of Python for your needs. To check which Python version is currently set as default, type python –version into a terminal window. The output will look something like this:
Python 2.7.10 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.
This indicates that the system is using Python 2.7 by default. If you want to use Python 3 with Anaconda, you will need to create a new environment that uses Python 3 instead of the default Python 2 interpreter by typing conda create -n python3 python=3 into a terminal window.
This will create a new environment called “python3” that has its own installation of Python 3 within it which you can access by typing source activate python3 into a terminal window followed by python –version which should now output something like this:
Python 3.5 :: Continuum Analytics, Inc.
Now that you know how to open Anaconda Navigator and how to change your default Python interpreter, let’s take a look at some of the features available within Anaconda Navigator!
