I have no idea where to ask this but I desperately need to upgrade to python 3 and the rabbit hole just goes on, this time not allowing me to install anaconda3 (anaconda2 5.2.0 installed just fine before).
None of the suggestions on this page helped
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5784...eate-menus
So what am I doing wrong? One suggestion I haven't tried is to install an older version because the whole idea is to be up to date.

This is not Anaconda3 -->
anaconda2 5.2.0
That's an old Python 2 version of Anaconda from 2018.
I would advice
Miniconda ,then follow this
post and make your environment with eg Python 3.10.2.
I didn't ask about Anaconda2, I asked about Anaconda3. It won't install. Anaconda2 worked just fine but it is outdated.
Am I asking on the wrong forum?
That is what failed to install. The reason I need Anaconda is to use Spyder which is what a web scraping instructor uses in his video, I'm trying not to fall in too many rabbit holes. If being without the packages means I must manually install every function, I'd rather just figure out why Anaconda isn't installing.
Anaconda3 2019.03 installed successfully but the kernel in the IPython console in Spyder is now not working.

Try make new environment.
Installation Guide
conda create -n spyder-env spyder=4 numpy scipy pandas matplotlib sympy cython
Remember to always activate a environment
(base)
or if run commands over
(spyder-env)
.
Could get away not activate a environment in Anaconda2,but not in Anaconda3.
So eg if i use Miniconda or Anaconda,must have environment activate
(tom_env)
first.
G:\div_code
λ G:\miniconda3\Scripts\activate.bat tom_env
(tom_env) G:\div_code
(base)
is the original environment.
(tom_env) G:\div_code
λ activate base
conda.bat activate base
(base) G:\div_code
Where do I type those commands? Your link says I can install Spyder stand-alone, should I try that first?
Thanks.
Anaconda Prompt or terminal
So you do it from command line Anaconda Prompt automatically activate
(base)
environment.
I use
cmder so i do activating myself,if use
cmd
most also activating yourself.
When (base) is activate try typing
spyder
and see it work.
Hey, installing Spyder as a standalone worked superb, thanks guys.
Btw, is Miniconda the same thing as Anaconda prompt?

Now they are not at all the same
Anaconda prompt is Terminal command line(
cmd) with
(base)
environment active.
Miniconda is the same as Anaconda without all the pre-installed(600+) packages that Anacondas has.
Quote:Hey, installing Spyder as a standalone worked superb, thanks guys
I should be in the connect to Anaconda
(base)
environment and not only work standalone version,then you get trouble not finding packages.
You
most learn command line as use of
Conda and pip.
Like basic install with conda and making
new environment and switch between them.
Quick demo.
