Anaconda. Quite fitting a name to something that fucks up python environments so thoroughly. Ironic too, given that it was meant to simplify. Anaconda doesn't give a shit about the python that came with the distro. And all packages installed with pip are only visible to anacondas python. Not a single note of caution during installation​. Or a best practices guide for the newbie. Just chaos. Utter chaos. The price of being a noob had been paid.

After the download, it had 2 installations of python, one with anaconda and one with the general python, no warning that 2 of them exists, fucking wasted 2 days with it, then had to keep conda one because it was the latest one.

just use virtualenv.... anaconda is meant to be used by academics on windows, because if the numpy/scipy "out of the box". Linux users have no problems installing the required packages on thier virtualenv python.

It's made for Windows, that's why it does that. Without it, is me fucked on Windows when I have to do school work, but on Linux the correct environment is easier to setup

I'm not super familiar with python, i had it installed just to play with it. Last week i tried opencv in my spare time in windows. The import package didn't work like it didn't find the cv2.
I tried set it up using anaconda. And yeah... I've been tru' : install, uninstall, regedit and install but it turned out good and i learn something from it.

I have the same issue with PyCharm. For some reason it's treating the project folder as the python source so every module I need has to be put in there. I've just given up and made it run CMD in the inline console instead.

Fuck I hate this stupid fucking pile of shit. I found this site and post just by googling anaconda and a bunch of curse words.

I had a simple thing. I wanted to test out a model. I haven't used anaconda in a little while on my Windows machine, maybe a year. I follow the upgrade all packages instructions, which Anaconda documentation assures me is what 95% of users need. It fails because of some package that's not in the right state. It gives me a command to run to fix it. I run it. It doesn't fix it.

Is there a way I can delete this environment and make a new one from scratch? I try to do it, it tells me to deactivate and try again. I deactivate and try again. Since it's deactivated, it's not on[...]

Oh fuck it, I'm running out of room in this review. TL;DR AFTER DOING A FUCKING CLEAN INSTALL OF ANACONDA FROM SCRATCH I CANNOT GET TENSORFLOW, THE WORLDS MOST POPULAR MACHINE LEARNING FRAMEWORK, TO INSTALL. A CLEAN INSTALL. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS PIECE OF SHIT.

@frobus I want to throw anaconda, my computer, and my self out the window.

This software should be banned from usage. It is so bad that sometimes it can't even update itself.
