$PATH set up by install on Mac but not Linux?

[Chris Withers]

Hi All,

The Mac Anaconda installer setups up $PATH (or does something similar)
that means:

source activate <myenv>

...works. However, this doesn't happen on Linux.

What's the recommended way of getting Anaconda to be on $PATH?
Is it safe to just use absolute paths, in my case /opt/anaconda/bin/*?

cheers,

Chris

You can just add the following to your ~/.bashrc file:
export PATH=/opt/anaconda/bin:$PATH

I can, but I'm curious as to why this is done as part of the install on Mac but not Linux?

Because Linux users are sophisticated, and very knowledgeable about these types of things :)

Well okay, but joking aside, why is this?

Also, did you get my mail about the other question I'm trying to ask (about a canonical download url for the anaconda distribution) which appears to be getting blackholed every time I send it...

Yes, the URL has a '*' at the end, which is I guess why is gives 403.
Use: http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/index.html

Also, we've added 'latest' installers, for all the different platforms, eg.:
http://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh

[Chris Withers]

Nope, I just put that 'cos every one I tried gave a 403...

What would be the "right" url to use for the latest Anaconda (rather than Miniconda) release for Linux?

cheers,

Chris

There no Anaconda-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
