I installed Anaconda's graphical installer successfully. I configured it to Python 3.5 by

conda create -n py35 python=3.5
source activate py35 % to deactive source deactivate
conda install notebook ipykernel
ipython kernel install --user

With PYTHONPATH

I want to get Anaconda's libraries in PYTHONPATH. They are not located in $HOME/.anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages. Here is a similar thread without an answer about PYTHONPATH problems in OSX. I run by accident pip install conda just to test if you can confuse the system by installing second Anaconda, but you cannot and you get

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): conda in /Users/masi/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages

where you apparently see the location of the libraries of Anaconda. My $HOME/.bash_profile

export PYTHONPATH=/Users/masi/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages

# otherwise PYTHONPATH fails in OS X; see history for logs
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

I run my test code

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
%matplotlib inline

and I get unsuccessfully

/Users/masi/anaconda/lib/python3.5/site-packages/matplotlib/font_manager.py:273: UserWarning: Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.
  warnings.warn('Matplotlib is building the font cache using fc-list. This may take a moment.')

I do not know where Matplotlib keeps its cache. In Linux, removal with rm -rf ~/.cache/matplotlib would be possible but not in OS X. This can be a bug in Matplotlib that has not been solved in OS X. I sent a message to the thread about the issue in the project's Github here. The cache directory is empty, ls -a $HOME/.matplotlib/ gives empty list where you find the cache directory by import matplotlib; matplotlib.get_cachedir() in ipython.

Without PYTHONPATH

My PATH is

/Users/masi/anaconda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Library/TeX/texbin

I install numpy by sudo -H pip install numpy. I run the test code but I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-a38059fd5ca4> in <module>()
----> 1 import numpy as np
      2 import pandas as pd
      3 import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      4 get_ipython().magic('matplotlib inline')

ImportError: No module named 'numpy'

so something wrong with pip in installing the modules. I have both conda via pip and Anaconda. This may not be optimal. Please, propose different setting.

Trying to get rid of conda

I run pip uninstall conda but I still get the error about missing numpy although I installed it with pip. I think have some PATH problem. How can you uninstall all packages installed by conda?


How can you add Anaconda's Python Libraries in PYTHONPATH?

    probably bestt to run without any PYTHONPATH the anaconda setup should just work. Run in a virtual path by using conda activate

    What is your path and do you have both condo via pip and anaconda?

  • I get different errors :( I had to install more than you e.g. condo install matplotlib. Time to get a real VM I think

    I would use condo install rather than pip conda conda.pydata.org/docs/_downloads/…

I think one good option is to gave up with Anaconda and use Canopy under an academic license (user2738815). Another option is to use Debian Linux, where I have not experienced any such problems.
