On a linux miniconda2 system, I did the following:

cd ~/miniconda2/bin
easy_install ipdb

This installed:

~/miniconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ipdb-0.9.0-py2.7.egg

ipdb was then present in the miniconda2/bin dir and I was able to use ipdb from the cmd line with no problems

I would guess anaconda will be very similar to miniconda and this approach should work for both

This approach was based on the answer given to your link to the similar windows based question. I had previously tried to install through conda with no luck, i.e.

$ conda install ipdb
Fetching package metadata: ....
Error: No packages found in current linux-64 channels matching: ipdb

You can search for this package on anaconda.org with

    anaconda search -t conda ipdb

You may need to install the anaconda-client command line client with

    conda install anaconda-client

    I did that and the ipdb appears on the location you mentioned. But, still it is not recognized: 'global name ipdb is not defined'. What do you recommend? – aviyaron Mar 21 '16 at 20:10
  • I also get the following exception: "MultipleInstanceError: Multiple incompatible subclass instances of TerminalIPythonApp are being created." in the ipython notebook. How can i solve it? – aviyaron Mar 22 '16 at 06:57
  • do you have something like this in your .bashrc? export PATH=/$HOME/miniconda2/bin:${PATH} – bph Mar 22 '16 at 12:28
