Anaconda-Navigator.app missing after installation on M1 macOS Monterey
Question:
I installed Anaconda, but it did not include the GUI app, Anaconda-Navigator app in the Applications folder. What do I need to do to get the GUI app?
Details:
Computer: 2021 14-inch MacBook Pro, M1 Max
OS: macOS Monterey 12.5
A month ago, I had the full Intel version of Anaconda, including Anaconda-Navigator, running fine.
I decided I wanted the M1 version, so I uninstalled it using the method detailed on the Anaconda website (anaconda-clean), rm -rf ~/opt/anaconda3, and remove conda section of .zshrc. I also deleted Anaconda-Navigator from the Applications folder and removed all ~/Library/Receipts, and restarted the laptop.
I the used the GUI installer for the M1 version, which set up conda and seemingly the complete ~/anaconda3 folder, but it didn’t install the Anaconda-Navigator app.
I repeated the full uninstall and used the shell installer, getting the same result – no Anaconda-Navigator.
Any suggestions on how I can get Anaconda-Navigator GUI?
Thanks!!
Mike
Answers:
I found the answer on my own. Anaconda Navigator is not included with the M1 version. I read the complete Anaconda press release 1, as I should have done before I posted my question. A flag for me was that the file size of the installation package for the M1 was quite a bit smaller than for Intel.
I’m struggling with these issues now. Still doesn’t seem to be documented and Anaconda.com’s list of included packages for the ARM installer threw me off by listing "anaconda-navigator" as included "In Installer".. https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/packages/py3.9_osx-arm64/
What you need to do is, after running the ARM64 installer.. run -> conda install anaconda-navigator
Still trying to figure out why Anaconda Navigator.app runs fine on an M1 Air and M1 Mini.. but won’t launch on a M1 Max MBP. I have a feeling it’s because she used Migration Assistant to migrate her user account.. and there’s crud in her old config files that are breaking things (without logging why). :-/
run -> conda install anaconda-navigator
Worked for my on my Mac mini M1. Was looking for ages to find this. Hope this helps someone looking for it as well.
I had the same issue. After installing with conda install anaconda-navigator run it from terminal with anaconda-navigator and lock it to the Dock (right click -> options -> keep in dock)
