Install Anaconda on your Ubuntu Shell

By Heidy Ramirez-January 27, 2021

Anaconda Navigator is a great GUI that allows you to open different applications easily from one interface. My personal favorite is Spyder, which is a powerful python IDE that allows for easy debugging, advanced editing, and implementation.

To install the Anaconda Navigator follow the following steps:

Update your Shell

sudo apt update

Install GUI application

sudo apt install -y libgl1-mesa-glx libegl1-mesa libxrandr2 libxrandr2 libxss1 libxcursor1 libxcomposite1 libasound2 libxi6 libxtst6

Type "y" for yes to continue.

Download the Anaconda installation script

wget -P /tmp https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh

After this, execute the following command to begin the script

bash /tmp/Anaconda3-2020.02-Linux-x86_64.sh

To scroll through the agreement continuously press enter.

Verification

source ~/.bashrc

conda

Type the following to start the Anaconda GUI.
