When I attempt to use Anaconda Navigator Updater to update from current version 1.6.8 to 2.3.2, I receive a “Cannot update Anaconda Navigator, UnsatisfiableError” dialog box on my screen.

How do I go about updating anaconda?

Hello,

Can you please try updating anaconda navigator from a Anaconda command window prompt as follows:

conda update anaconda-navigator

If this fails, you should get additional error output. Please attach it below, if it fails this way.

To fix the Cannot update Anaconda Navigator, UnsatisfiableError error, use the “conda update anaconda-navigator” command or use the “conda install anaconda=custom” command to be able to update anaconda-navigator.

The error occurs when you try to update Anaconda Navigator due to conflicting dependencies between the packages that need to be updated and the current packages installed in the system.

Didn’t work , the terminal gave an error as well.

Hi! I’m new here and unfortunately I’m also having problems updating Anaconda Navigator on Windows.

I downloaded it today and was immediately asked to update from 2.6.0 to 2.6.2. I haven’t done any work in Anaconda yet, so I won’t lose anything if you recommend I deinstall everything. Anyhow, here is what I have done:

  • Tried “conda update anaconda-navigator" through Anaconda Prompt
  • Tried “conda update anaconda-navigator" through Anaconda Prompt as Admin
  • Tried conda install anaconda=custom through Anaconda Prompt as Admin

The error messages look like this::

I know it was a few months ago but I had exactly the same problem. Solved it by opening an admin prompt and:

conda update --all
conda update anaconda-navigator

It looks like conda needs to update itself first :man_shrugging: :man_facepalming:

I found a solution.
After running
conda clean -p
I could run the updates.
I had the same issues when trying to install libraries.
