-
Start a command prompt/terminal session. On Windows pick “Anaconda Prompt” from the start/app menu.
-
Update conda and navigator:
conda update conda anaconda-navigator -
See if Navigator starts properly for you now (i.e. it starts in under 90 seconds, and it lists the things you expect):
anaconda-navigator -
If so, success! Email and let us know. If not, consider if you have added or setup any additional conda channels. If you haven’t (or you don’t care about ones you HAVE setup) then you can try:
conda info -aand somewhere in there you’ll see an entry that shows you where your.condarcis. Find that file and delete it. Repeat step 3. -
If that ALSO fails then part of the problem for me this weekend was that my authorization token somehow became corrupted. If you have an Anaconda Cloud account (try logging in to http://anaconda.org) then what you want to do is logout:
anaconda logoutAnd then repeat step 3. If you need to be authenticated (e.g. you're accessing private content or you want to upload your own content) then you can always do `anaconda login`.
-
If that ALSO fails then see if you can just start up your favorite programs from the command prompt:
spyder jupyter notebook etc. -
If you can’t start up your favorite programs (but
condacommands were working) then I think you have a borked Anaconda install. I’d recommend deleting the current installation (on Windows use the Remove Software program from Control Panel, Mac and Linux just delete the Anaconda directory, wherever it is) and you should download the latest version (4.3.1) and reinstall it.
