I already have miniconda but I think I’d prefer Anaconda. I don’t want/need two separate installations. Will I have to uninstall miniconda, or can Anaconda simply add whatever I lack? Thanks.
Good morning,
Miniconda can be converted into Anaconda to get the full experience, you can do that if you follow these simple steps:
1 - Download Miniconda here: https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Windows-x86_64.exe
2- Launch the Anaconda prompt from your start menu.
3- Install Anaconda with this command:
conda install anaconda anaconda-navigator
4 - Now you should be able to use Anaconda
Please let us know if that worked for you and we will be very happy to help you if you need anything else.
Sorry for the Necro of this post.
This method really works, but the default installation path will remain “..user/YourName/miniconda”
instead of “..user/YourName/Anaconda3”.
This may not be a big deal for veterans, but it may cause trouble for beginners.
Since miniconda is known for its light weight. A full uninstall of miniconda and a new install of Anaconda may be a better choice.
