- Open a terminal and run the following:
NoteReplace/path/filename
with your installation’s path and filename. - Install for Python 3.7 or 2.7:
- For Python 3.7 enter the following:
- For Python 2.7, open the Terminal.app or iTerm2 terminal application and then enter the following:
NoteInclude thebash
command regardless of whether or not you are using the Bash shell.NoteReplace~/Downloads

PREFIX=/home/<user>/anaconda<2or3>
and continue the installation.NoteUnlike the graphical install, installing the shell file will place it in ~/anaconda<2 or 3> by default,not ~/opt. This is due to limitations with installing .pkg files on macOS Catalina.Installation may take a few minutes to complete.NoteWe recommend you accept the default install location. Do not choose the path as /usr for theAnaconda/Miniconda installation. - The installer prompts “Do you wish the installer to initialize Anaconda3by running conda init?” We recommend “yes”.NoteIf you enter “no”, then conda will not modify your shell scripts at all.In order to initialize after the installation process is done, first run
source<pathtoconda>/bin/activate
and then runcondainit
.NoteIf you are on macOS Catalina, the new default shell is zsh.You will instead need to runsource<pathtoconda>/bin/activate
followed bycondainitzsh
. - The installer displays “Thank you for installing Anaconda!”
- Optional: The installer describes the partnership between Anaconda and JetBrains andprovides a link to install PyCharm for Anaconda athttps://www.anaconda.com/pycharm.
- Close and open your terminal window for the Anaconda installation to take effect.
- To control whether or not each shell session has the base environmentactivated or not, run
condaconfig--setauto_activate_baseFalseorTrue
. To run conda from anywhere without having the base environmentactivated by default, usecondaconfig--setauto_activate_baseFalse
.This only works if you have runcondainit
first.Notecondainit
is available in conda versions 4.6.12 and later. - Verify your installation. https://bqfpnd.weebly.com/blog/how-to-uninstall-apps-on-mac-without-admin.
