Totally new to Python (some basic HTML in secondary school) but as part of a Maths degree we are required to use Python and specifically Anaconda.
I have attempted to install it on my Windows 7 laptop and it has not gone well. Opening Anaconda prompt returns :" 'C:\ProgramData\Anaconda2\Scripts\activate.bat' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. "
A google search recommended going into the file directory but using where Anaconda (both capitalised and not) returns "INFO: Could not find files for the given pattern(s).". I can't find it in either Program Files folder, or any where else. Also should mention I did not tick the option to create a new PATH during installation as the wizard recommended against it, and I cannot reinstall as every time it says "Error 'Destination Folder' contains 2 spaces. This can cause problems with several Conda packages, and is thus disabled. Please install to a path without the spaces.".
Finally, the version I am trying to install is Anaconda 2 5.0.0 as recommended by the tutor.
Many thanks.
