When I tried to install Anaconda into my computer, the destination folder for my installation was "C:\Users\Lara Nguyen\Anaconda3". When I clicked "Next", there was a pop-up saying that "Error:'Destination folder' contains 1 space. This can cause problems with several Conda packages, and is thus disabled. Please install to a path without a space". After the installation, opened cmd and typed "Jupyter Notebook" but there was an error message saying that:"jupyter"is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file.

Is there anyway I can fix this problem?

  • were you able to successfully install anaconda ? Commented Feb 21, 2018 at 22:49
  • this cmd you run, is it from Anaconda prompt (Menu > Anaconda3 > Anaconda prompt or normal cmd)? Commented Oct 16, 2018 at 7:12

  • Looking at your path I am assuming you are using windows (I mention this so that other linux user do not refer this answer)
  • First of all it's clearly mentioned in the Anaconda installation documents that it is recommended to install to a path which does not have spaces
  • If you installed it correctly, did you register the anaconda path to the environment variable? If not then do that

  • The paths that you have to register will be something like this:

    C:User\username\Anaconda3
    C:User\username\Anaconda3\Scripts
    C:User\username\Anaconda3\Library

  • Now run the anaconda prompt (not cmd) and just type the conda commmand

  • After typing the conda command if you did not get any error then you have successfully installed jupyter as well (You can cross check this by going to following location : C:User\username\Anaconda3\Scripts and searching for jupyter-script.py file)
  • now in anaconda prompt itself run the command jupyter notebook
  • if it still throws you error then I would strongly recommend you to reinstall Anaconda3 and follow the above steps correctly
