Issues while installing Anaconda3

Question

After following the installation instructions, I am stuck here.

The step during Anaconda installation where I am getting error:

Please answer ‘yes‘ or ‘no‘:‘
>>> yes

Anaconda3 will now be installed into this location:
/hone/sonal/anaconda3

- Press ENTER to confirm the location
- Press CTRL-C to abort the installation
- Or specify a different location below

[/hone/sonal/anaconda3] >>>

ERROR: File or directory already exists: '/hone/sonal/anac&1da3' If you want to update an existing installation, use the -u option. sonal@sonal-HP-Notebook:/tmp$

Can anybody help me solving this?

Answer 2

Looks like there is an existing installation directory of anaconda3. You need to remove the old installation directory and reinstall or you can update as well.

To update: You can just run the command with '-u' option as mentioned in the screenshot itself.

To Reinstall: Run the following commands:

1. Remove anaconda3 directory rm -rf ~/anaconda3
2. Remove anaconda path in the PATH variable. Edit ~/.bashrc file.
3. Remove other hidden files. rm -rf ~/.condarc ~/.conda ~/.continuum
4. Re-run the installation script.
