Issues with Anaconda installation...
#1
Hello,

I have downloaded Anaconda on a new Windows 10 machine. The installer did everything without errors BUT I still don’t see Anaconda in the Start menu in left lower corner. I cannot launch anaconda from anywhere…

Any advice? All I am able to do is to uninstall it. I tried to do reinstall but no luck making sure to choose the recommended installation. All I have is the folder below (see attachment).

Thank you!

It sounds like the installation of Anaconda on your Windows 10 machine may not have completed correctly.

One possible solution would be to try uninstalling Anaconda and then reinstalling it.

If that doesn't work, you can try launching Anaconda from the command prompt by running the command "conda".

If that also doesn't work, you may need to check if the Anaconda installation directory is added to your system's PATH environment variable.

If the directory is not in the PATH, add it and restart your system, this should make Anaconda accessible from the start menu.

Hello and thank you for the help.

a) I did try the install and unintall strategy but nothing changed. By the way, this is a school computer but I have downloaded other software without issues.

2) I believe, in my several install/uninstall tries, I checked both the top and bottom boxes even if the top is not recommended.

3) I went to the command prompt and typed echo %PATH% as you suggested. I don't see anything Anaconda related...but other programs are also not there...Should all programs be listed there? I don't think so. PATH contains a string of directories separated were certain executable files are store so they can be executed without specifying the full path to the file...If the application's full path is in PATH, does it mean that the program shows up in the Start menu?

Thank you
