Where does Anaconda Python install on Windows?


To find where Anaconda was installed I used the "where" command on the command line in Windows.

C:\>where anaconda

which for me returned:

C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\Scripts\anaconda.exe

Which allowed me to find the Anaconda Python interpreter at

C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\python.exe

to update PyDev


Open the Anaconda Prompt and type:

> where python


You can search for "Anaconda prompt" in installed programs and run it.
When it opens, it shows the directory anaconda is working from.

As you can see c:\programdata\anaconda2 is my installed directory.
*side note: programdata folder is hidden in windows so you'll have to enter its path in the folder explorer to access it.
