Installing anaconda to use with windows

Question

I am lost in the installation process of installing anaconda on windows.

I\'ve installed the windows 32bit package (I\'m running windows 7 x64)

I have anaconda i

Answer 1

well you might have two installations of python, one inside the anaconda package, and other which you might have installed earlier. try doing :

which python

from CygWin console. If it returns:

/usr/bin

then it is definitely a add-to-path problem. to fix it for CygWin, you have to add the python installation from anaconda to the path.

try this fromn CygWin:

PATH=path-where-anaconda-is-installed/anaconda/bin:$PATH

and then doing:

which python 

should give you:

/path-to-anaconda/anaconda/bin

and then it will work.
