Verifying your installation#
Once you have installed Anaconda Distribution, Anaconda Navigator should open automatically if the installation is successful. Anaconda Navigator is a graphical user interface (GUI) that is automatically installed with Anaconda Distribution.
Using conda to verify manually#
If you prefer using a command line interface (CLI), use conda to verify the installation, using Anaconda Prompt on Windows or the terminal on macOS or Linux.
Search for “Anaconda Prompt” in the taskbar search.
Select Anaconda Prompt.
Use Cmd+Space to open Spotlight Search.
Type “Terminal” and press return to open.
In most Linux distributions, use Ctrl+Alt+T to open a terminal application.
Run one of the following commands to verify your installation was successful:
conda list
- If Anaconda Distribution is installed successfully, this displays a list of packages installed in your active environment and their versions.anaconda-navigator
- If Anaconda Distribution is installed successfully, Anaconda Navigator opens.
