Anaconda-Navigator - Ubuntu16.04

Question

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?

In addition to the answers given here, I'd like to add that after installing Anaconda in one terminal, you must open a new terminal in order to open the navigator. — , Mar 15 '19 at 06:37

How do we make this permanent so we don't have to do this every time the computer is restarted? – Alberto MQ Dec 10 '19 at 15:41

Thiis also works for me! Notice that often you can replace the first command to `conda activate` – Euler_Salter Aug 20 '20 at 15:21

I was in another conda environment. `conda activate` changed env to base and it worked for me! – politecat314 Oct 28 '22 at 15:47

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.

@megha, Did you test the command in Sudo mode? cause it doesn't work in sudo mode – Mohammad Heydari Nov 23 '19 at 15:10

Hi, is there any downside to adding this in my `.bashrc` so that I don't need to add the path every time? I just hope it won't break the system! – Black Jack 21 Mar 21 '20 at 12:16

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

By far the most helpful answer. It would gain from noting that the default path is `/home/USERNAME/anaconda3/bin/anaconda-navigator` and the icon is in `/home/USERNAME/anaconda3/lib/pythonVERSION/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/static/images/anaconda-icon-256x256.png` . — FvD, Sep 03 '19 at 02:12
atlas Thank you. This helps a lot. Also, @FvD Thank you for sharing the path details. — V P, Feb 16 '20 at 09:18

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

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.

By default anaconda is installed at /root/anaconda3 path, if you want to access it then you should run

su -
cd /root/anaconda3/bin
./jupyter-notebook or ./anaconda-navigator

If you want to change the path, just login as a admin and copy folder to /opt/ or reinstall it.

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
