Anaconda Python

Hi

Following web link: https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/anaconda/install#verify-your-installation-of-conda, to install anaconda. Goal is to get Anaconda Spyder Python IDE installed & working!

First & Second step went successfully. Third step bash ~/Anaconda3-2025.06-0-Linux-x86_64.sh ends in
Code:
 ERROR: File or directory already exists: '/root/anaconda3'
.
&
[root@localhost ~]# anaconda-navigator
bash: anaconda-navigator: command not found


How to troubleshoot install error?

Thanks

Unlike Windows, the current working directory is never part of the PATH on UNIX(-like) systems.

And I suggest using sysutils/linux-miniconda-installer instead.
Hi

linux-miniconda-installer pkg is already there, but when i try to run the installer to install miniconda, i get following output in terminal:
[root@localhost ~]# linux-miniconda-installer
bash: linux-miniconda-installer: command not found
.

Where am i going wrong?

How to get miniconda installer running?

PS: Only need anaconda navigator running.

Thanks

a) Don't run it as root. The whole point of miniconda/conda is so you can easily install python modules as a user.
b) it's miniconda-installer.

Code:
Conda, like pip and CRAN, is a popular system that allows non-root users to
install many binary software packages in their own directories.  The system
includes a base "channel" (repository) as well as 3rd party community
channels, such as "bioconda".  QC for community channels is generally below
that of the base channel and FreeBSD ports, but they provide users with a
convenient way to install software not yet available in FreeBSD ports.

Packages are available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.  Linux Conda packages
work about as well on FreeBSD as they do on CentOS, which is the basis of
FreeBSD's Linux compatibility tool set.  However, Conda and its packages
require a complete Linux environment for full functionality.

Typical Conda users do not know how to configure this environment on FreeBSD.
Miniconda-installer ensures a proper environment for installing and using
Miniconda and the packages it provides.

Code:
root@fbsd-test:~ # pkg install linux-miniconda-installer

Starting Linux bash shell to ensure that Conda packages are fully functional.

Note that uname will return Linux rather than FreeBSD and some other aspects
of the environment will also indicate Linux.

To activate conda, run the "eval" command indicated during the conda
installation, e.g.

eval "$(/home/dice/miniconda3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"

Type "exit" or "Ctrl+d" to return to your FreeBSD shell.

Even updating conda
$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
did not work!

But i get anaconda-navigator after several install attempts using:
conda install --name base anaconda-navigator.

Now when i run anaconda-navigator i get following error!

Code:
(base) bash-5.1$

What else is required?

a) Don't run it as root. The whole point of miniconda/conda is so you can easily install python modules as a user.
b) it's miniconda-installer.

Code:
Conda, like pip and CRAN, is a popular system that allows non-root users to
install many binary software packages in their own directories.  The system
includes a base "channel" (repository) as well as 3rd party community
channels, such as "bioconda".  QC for community channels is generally below
that of the base channel and FreeBSD ports, but they provide users with a
convenient way to install software not yet available in FreeBSD ports.

Packages are available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.  Linux Conda packages
work about as well on FreeBSD as they do on CentOS, which is the basis of
FreeBSD's Linux compatibility tool set.  However, Conda and its packages
require a complete Linux environment for full functionality.

Typical Conda users do not know how to configure this environment on FreeBSD.
Miniconda-installer ensures a proper environment for installing and using
Miniconda and the packages it provides.

Code:
root@fbsd-test:~ # pkg install linux-miniconda-installer

dice@fbsd-test:~ % conda-shell

Starting Linux bash shell to ensure that Conda packages are fully functional.

Note that uname will return Linux rather than FreeBSD and some other aspects
of the environment will also indicate Linux.

To activate conda, run the "eval" command indicated during the conda
installation, e.g.

eval "$(/home/dice/miniconda3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"

Type "exit" or "Ctrl+d" to return to your FreeBSD shell.

bash-5.1$ eval "$(/home/dice/miniconda3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"
(base) bash-5.1$
When I try to run the miniconda-installer I get:
a) Don't run it as root. The whole point of miniconda/conda is so you can easily install python modules as a user.
b) it's miniconda-installer.

Code:
Conda, like pip and CRAN, is a popular system that allows non-root users to
install many binary software packages in their own directories.  The system
includes a base "channel" (repository) as well as 3rd party community
channels, such as "bioconda".  QC for community channels is generally below
that of the base channel and FreeBSD ports, but they provide users with a
convenient way to install software not yet available in FreeBSD ports.

Packages are available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows.  Linux Conda packages
work about as well on FreeBSD as they do on CentOS, which is the basis of
FreeBSD's Linux compatibility tool set.  However, Conda and its packages
require a complete Linux environment for full functionality.

Typical Conda users do not know how to configure this environment on FreeBSD.
Miniconda-installer ensures a proper environment for installing and using
Miniconda and the packages it provides.

root@fbsd-test:~ # pkg install linux-miniconda-installer
