Error while installing anaconda

hello, I am a new user. Getting errors installing anaconda. Please, guide me.

Hello Sagarkumar,





Looking at the screenshot, it seems there was a slight difference in the command to be typed. I can see that you have already set up the virtual environment with the name "quantra_py".



To activate the virtual environment, we use the command: conda activate quantra_py



Once this is done, you can use the following command to open jupyter notebook: jupyter notebook



Note that you should not put any double quotes like " before the commands. 



I hope this helps. You can check the screenshot attached here for an example.

jupyter notebook not found

Hello Sagarkumar,



You have hit a roadblock while installing the virtual environment. The error is due to the fact that Microsoft Visual C++ 14.0 version has to installed.



As mentioned in the blog "Setting Up Python On Your System", you can simply copy-paste the link and download the build tools.



Click on the setup file and make sure you have selected the “C++ build tools” checkbox and further selected the 5 “optional” tools as well, as seen in the screenshot below.



Follow the instructions during setup and the required packages will be installed. You can then try installing the Python packages again, and this time the set-up will be complete.



For an optimum user experience, you should extract all the files to the root directory where Python is installed. For example, if the Python installation is in the folder “C:\Users\rekhi”, then extract the files to this folder itself.

If you want to remove an existing environment, you can do it in the following manner.

  1. Deactivate the environment
  2. Run the following command: conda remove --name quantra_py --all
remove_environment

Hope this helps.
