How to Install Anaconda on Mac (Getting Started)

[@iamhervewabo1]

hey dave is there a reason why the download prompt won't launch? i get to the success page but nothing happens. thanks.

[@daveebbelaar]

Hmm, hard to tell, maybe your browser is blocking the download? Have you also tried the main download button at the top of the page?

hello, I have installed the anaconda but dont know how to install anaconda powershell prompt. Please can you guide

[@lizachuyaozhang3824]

Hi Dave, thank you for this amazing video! For my project, I need to setup venv in a python 3.11 version on Mac. In order to complete the setup, I also need to disable condo. How should I do that? I do not want to uninstall Anaconda on my Mac. Also, without condo, can I still create a python environment with a specific version to allow me to work on my project? Thanks in advance.

Nice video!

just bought a new macbook M2, sadly, anaconda does not support M2，guess i can only use Colab right now

[@daveebbelaar]

You should be fine! Just follow this: docs.anaconda.com/free/anaconda/install/mac-os/ It seems like you just cannot use the Anaconda Navigator yet but working with Anaconda through the terminal is possible.

@@daveebbelaar ​ the weirdest thing happened to me, I installed two times, all failed, in the third time, the wizard originally skipped the installation destination page, so i clicked "go back" and selected "only for me", and all successful going forward

Hi dave, I have installed the anaconda but my path is not in "user/opt/anaconda~~~~" its in "/opt/anaconda3" is there a problem with this?? and the anaconda navigator is not installed as well

[@daveebbelaar]

Hi Neal, you can try to uninstall Anaconda and then go for 64-Bit Graphical Installer, instead of 64-Bit (M1). Other people in the comments had the same problem and that fixed it.

[@tnabhinay]

Hi Dave, Does anaconda automatically update to the latest python version as and when they come out?

[@tnabhinay]

And also l didn't understand, what pip is exactly, can you please make a video on pip

[@daveebbelaar]

Hey Abhinay, thanks for your comment! If you want to change the version of Python to the latest version, you can do so by running "conda update python" in the terminal.

[@daveebbelaar]

@@tnabhinay I will note that. Meanwhile, you can find more information about pip here: realpython.com/what-is-pip/ In short: pip let's you install Python packages that other people have built. This will speed up your coding :)

How do we download 3.9. Version on python on mac when 3.10.4 has come any tutorial oh this because in anaconda 3.9 is available not 3.10.4

[@daveebbelaar]

Hi there, do you mean that you want to run python version 3.9 through Anaconda? If so, you can create a specific environment using the following command: conda create --name your-evn-name python==3.9 Then you can run: conda activate your-evn-name And you will be working in an environment with python 3.9 You can do this for any version of python and can create as many environments as you want. Please tell me if this answers your question :)

Hi Dave, I'm getting following error when I import packages in MacBook Air M2. Have you any solutions on this matter? Appreciate if you can suggest me some solutions. mach-o file, but is an incompatible architecture (have 'x86_64', need 'arm64')

[@daveebbelaar]

Hi Udesh, I haven't seen that one before. Maybe this post can help apple.stackexchange.com/questions/436801/m1-mac-mach-o-file-but-is-an-incompatible-architecture-have-x86-64-need-a

[@amaya3398]

Hey, I installed it but there isn't navigator application so can you help me with that plss???

[@daveebbelaar]

Hey there, can you check your applications folder? If the installation is successful, you should see the Anaconda-Navigator there.

[@amaya3398]

@@daveebbelaar yep i checked the application folder but it isn't there so I tried to reinstall it but it still didn't work 😕

[@daveebbelaar]

@@amaya3398 What happens when you run "conda info" in the terminal?

[@archiejackson7363]

I have the same problem. How did you fix it?

[@amaya3398]

@@archiejackson7363 I didn't fix it, tbh I couldn't fix it cause it wasn't working

You jump from terminal to Virtual studio and lose me completely. 😞
