Question

When I type "python" into a terminal, I get this:

Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

I am unsure whether this means Ananconda has been successfully installed?

Was it helpful?

Solution

To install the Anaconda-1.9.0-MacOSX-x86_64.sh, open Terminal and run 

/bin/bash Anaconda-1.9.0-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

The installer will ask a series of questions and install it in a prefix you determine. When you are done, close the Terminal and open it again. (This is so that your Terminal picks up the new PATH which points to the prefix/bin.)

When it is installed you should see something like the following in the Terminal:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 |Anaconda 1.8.0 (x86_64)| (default, Nov 11 2013, 10:49:09)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
