Finding your Anaconda Python interpreter pathΒΆ
IDEs often require you to specify the path to your Python interpreter. This path varies according to which operating system version and which Anaconda version you use.
An Anaconda installation using the default settings will install the Python
interpreter in your home directory in a folder such as anaconda/bin/python
.
EXAMPLES:
- Windows–
C:\Users\Jane Smith\anaconda\bin\python
. - macOS–
~/anaconda/bin/python
or/Users/jsmith/anaconda/bin/python
. - Linux–
~/anaconda/bin/python
or/home/jsmith/anaconda/bin/python
.
Instead of anaconda
, the folder in your home directory might be named one of the following:
anaconda2
.anaconda3
.
If you have installed Miniconda instead of Anaconda, the folder might be named:
miniconda
.miniconda2
.miniconda3
.
