Anaconda 3 Navigator Not Opening

Question

I have installed Anaconda 3 on my computer and it will not open the navigator or let me run any of the programs, such as Jupyter Notebooks or Spyder. When I click on the Navigator app it briefly opens two black screens and then closes and then doesn't do anything. If I try to run it from the command prompt it gives me the following error.

>anaconda-navigator

WARNING: The conda.compat module is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\Scripts\anaconda-navigator-script.py", line 10, in sys.exit(main()) File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\app\main.py", line 103, in main from anaconda_navigator.app.start import start_app File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\app\start.py", line 34, in from anaconda_navigator.widgets.main_window import MainWindow File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\widgets\main_window.py", line 37, in from anaconda_navigator.utils.analytics import GATracker File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\utils\analytics.py", line 44, in from anaconda_navigator.external.UniversalAnalytics import Tracker File "C:\Users\micha\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\anaconda_navigator\external\UniversalAnalytics\Tracker.py", line 28, in from six.moves.urllib.request import (HTTPSHandler, Request, build_opener, ImportError: cannot import name 'HTTPSHandler' from 'six.moves.urllib.request' (unknown location)

I have attempted to uninstall and reinstall many times and I attempted to manually install an SSL package because some people suggested this worked for them.

Any help with this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Basically I just had to move some files within anaconda3 installation folder from one path to another.

Navigate to %ANACONDA_HOME%\Library\bin, there you will find the files listed below

libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll libcrypto-1_1-x64.pdb libssl-1_1-x64.dll libssl-1_1-x64.pdb So, just move them to this path: %ANACONDA_HOME%\DLLs

Give it a try one more time and you will be able to run it.

Answer 2

I had the problem today, solved it by doing the following:

pip install pyqt5
