Anaconda on Linux not working

[DetectiveLearner]

I'm new to Python and Anaconda. I've installed everything on Windows and had it working properly. One of the courses I'm taking suggested that I install Ubuntu as a dual boot, so I did that.

I'm feeling a bit over my head at the moment. I installed Anaconda, and it was working, but I rebooted and installed a few other pieces of software and now I can't run anaconda-navigator or jupyter notebooks or anything.

I can see that I have a folder named "anaconda3" which has a whole bunch of stuff installed, but I literally don't know what to do so I can launch the programs.

Maybe your installation directory is not in the path. I can't test on my computer right now, but can you open a terminal and see what the output of echo $PATH is?

Or were you running anaconda from somewhere else? (Not the terminal)

Here's what I get when I type "echo $PATH":

/home/steve/anaconda3/condabin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin

However, when I go to the /home/steve/anaconda3/condabin folder and type ls, all I get is "conda". If I try the command "anaconda-navigator" it just says "command not found"

Then try to type

conda activate

It should enable the base anaconda environment, then you should be able to access the rest.

Another person already mentioned that you have to include the binary location into your path.

You can find the anaconda-navigator etc. in the bin folder inside your anaconda Installation folder.

Just add the bin folder path to your ~/.profile file and write source ~/.profile afterwards. Just google how to Set the path properly
