How do I install biopython in anaconda?

Question

I get SyntaxError: invalid syntax

while trying to install biopython using the following command.

conda install -c anaconda biopython

Could you please help me install biopython in anaconda (3) ?

You're supposed to put that command into the terminal, not the python interpreter. — FHTMitchell, Aug 31 '18 at 14:35
Hahahahaha sorry this is the funniest comment ever, +1, and yes he is right you install it through command line — E.Serra, Aug 31 '18 at 14:39

Open the terminal and export your path to anaconda:

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Then type:

conda install -c anaconda biopython

Package maintainers recommend using (in the terminal):

conda install -c conda-forge biopython

We deliberately recommend using Biopython from the conda-forge channel, as this is usually up to date and covers Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. The default Conda channel does have Biopython, but is often out of date. https://biopython.org/wiki/Packages

Install Anaconda Navigator, go to "Environments" and select the appropriate environment (base or your own) and click "not installed". Scroll down to biopython click the box and then install...
