Trouble updating to Anaconda Navigator 1.10.0 (MacOS)

If you prefer, you may update Navigator manually.

Open the Anaconda prompt (terminal on Linux or macOS):

Run this command to deactivate conda:

conda deactivate

Then run this command to update Navigator:

conda update anaconda-navigator

Had the same problem, worked on me.


I am having completely the same issue (same Navigator version on macOS). I think I have spent several hours of all possible solution and nothing helped.

The only solution that worked was to uninstall and install again. The environment setup remains the same so there is nothing to lose (but still it is strange thought)

I was following the process from the answer from this question: How to uninstall Anaconda completely from macOS


The solution is in the documentation of the update itself:

... -Fixed bug with Navigator Updater tool: The bug was a part of the 1.9.12 release, so user will not be able to update from 1.9.12 to 1.10.0 through this tool. You will need to use the terminal or install 1.10.0 from our official website. ...

Therefore you have to open anaconda prompt and run the following lines consecutively:

conda deactivate

enter

conda update anaconda-navigator

enter
