Cannot bring up anaconda in Docker image

[ErnestTBass]

I decided to use Spyder as my full screen debugger. It seemed the most user friendly.

I ave used Anaconda many times before on Windows 10, but not in a Docker image.

I tried to start it using either Anaconda or Syder.

I got the error.

Error:

I am using the "continuumio/anaconda3' docker image.

I just do not know the command to bring anaconda on this Docker image.

Is there a readme file on this Docker image?

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Respectfully,

It looks like Anaconda is a GUI program and even if the libraries were in the image, you'd have to do X11 forwarding since all you have in the container is a shell. Even the notes at hub.docker.com say to start a Jupyter notebook: https://hub.docker.com/r/continuumio/anaconda3.

Also, a note on terminology: the thing you're actually running with Docker is a container, not an image. An image is just the packaged up software and you can run multiple containers from the same one.
