To open jupyter, type $ jupyter notebook -no-browser.

To do this, I added 'export PATH=/home/kauff/anaconda3/bin:$PATH' to the bottom of my ~/.bashrc file.

Manually add the Anaconda bin folder to your PATH.

If it doesn't have anaconda in the path, do the next step. Mine is /home/kauff/anaconda3/bin/python. It should print a path that has anaconda in it.

To test that it worked, run $ which python.

Close the terminal and reopen it to reload.

Optionally install VS Code when prompted (some have reported this installation doesn't work - checkout ).

When asks you if you'd like the installer to prepend it to the path, say yes.

Read the license agreement and follow the prompts to accept.

Run the installation script: $ bash Anaconda.sh ( $ bash Anaconda3-5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh).

If you accidentally try to install the wrong one, you'll get a warning in the terminal. If I had a 32-bit computer, I'd select the x86.sh version. I have a 64-bit computer, so I chose the latest release ending in x86_64.sh.

Go to to find the list of Anaconda releases.

I recommend the latest version (I'm using 18.04) because there are some bugs they worked out during 14/16 ( microsoft/WSL#785)

Install WSL (Ubuntu for Windows - can be found in Windows Store).

I encourage you all to help each other, but I probably won't be answering questions anymore. Thanks everyone for commenting/contributing! I made this in college for a class and I no longer really use the technology.
