CLARIFICATION.
I am not trying to use conda
, much less reinstall it. My question is about a behaviour that I don't understand.
THE BEHAVIOUR.
Some time ago I (must have) uninstalled conda
, and indeed:
conda list
bash: conda: command not found
Now, when I start typing "anaconda" in spotlight, it finds "anaconda-navigator". Not surprisingly, when I press enter, it gives me a "The application “Anaconda-Navigator” can’t be opened."
This shows that something has been left behind during the (manual) uninstall, but that is another issue.
MY QUESTION.
Where does spotlight find this anaconda-navigator
?
Best Answer
Go to Finder → Applications and find Anaconda-Navigator.app. It should be an alias. Right click on it and click on "Show original" .
For proper uninstall
delete the folder where the installation previously was. It should be named
anaconda3
oranaconda2
etc.,https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/uninstall/
But since you don't have
conda
, seen by "command not found" deleting the remnant files can be done using apps like EasyFind.
