My Anaconda Navigator (v1.9.12) has been prompting me to upgrade to 1.10.0. Only problem is, when I click "yes" on the update prompt (which should close the navigator and update it), nothing happens.
No problem, I thought. I ran
conda update anaconda-navigator
in the terminal. To no avail (and yes, I read the doc online and ran "conda deactivate" beforehand), same with
conda install anaconda-navigator=1.10
Both ran for a while, but the desktop navigator is still on the old version. One thing to note: the Looking for incompatible packages line was taking way too long (hours with no notable progress), so I ctrl-c'ed out. But I ran these commands again they managed to finish running.
Now I'm out of ideas, would anyone know what I can do to go through with the update? Thanks a lot!
If you prefer, you may update Navigator manually.
Open the Anaconda prompt (terminal on Linux or macOS):
Run this command to deactivate conda:
conda deactivate
Then run this command to update Navigator:
conda update anaconda-navigator
Had the same problem, worked on me.
I am having completely the same issue (same Navigator version on macOS). I think I have spent several hours of all possible solution and nothing helped.
The only solution that worked was to uninstall and install again. The environment setup remains the same so there is nothing to lose (but still it is strange thought)
I was following the process from the answer from this question: How to uninstall Anaconda completely from macOS
The solution is in the documentation of the update itself:
... -Fixed bug with Navigator Updater tool: The bug was a part of the 1.9.12 release, so user will not be able to update from 1.9.12 to 1.10.0 through this tool. You will need to use the terminal or install 1.10.0 from our official website. ...
Therefore you have to open anaconda prompt and run the following lines consecutively:
conda deactivate
enter
conda update anaconda-navigator
enter
How I fixed this problem is by the following steps!
Open the anaconda navigator in admin mode.
Try to click the update notice again.
Then I updated my anaconda navigator successfully.
