Anaconda Navigator - Ubuntu16.04

To start anaconda-navigator:

$ source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate root
$ anaconda-navigator

      

        
        
        
      

    

Just create a new text document named "anaconda-navigator.desktop" in your home directory using the terminal command:

gedit anaconda-navigator.desktop

      

        
        
        
      

    

Then enter the following in your text document:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Anaconda
Version=2.0
Type=Application
Exec=/path/to/anaconda-navigator
Icon=/path/to/selected/icon
Comment=Open Anaconda Navigator
Terminal=false

      

        
        
        
      

    

Save the file, then move it to your local applications folder:

mv anaconda-navigator.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/

      

        
        
        
      

    

Once this is done, you can search for "Anaconda" in your applications screen, right-click and add to favorites. This way you don't have to go through the terminal every time!

I am running Anaconda Navigator on Kubuntu 17.04 and successfully launching the navigator window. Without knowing any of the error messages or operator; you can try reinstalling the command: conda install -c anaconda anaconda-navigator
