Update to Anaconda Navigator 2.6.4

Product Help Anaconda Navigator

Upon launching Anaconda-Navigator (AN) version 2.6.3, I receive a notification of a new version 2.6.4 being available and asking to close AN. Upon doing so and selecting the “Update Now” button in the AN-Updater window, it returns a “Failed to install update, please try running ‘conda install anaconda-navigator’ in a terminal” message. I did this too, and get a “All requested packages already installed.” message. Launching AN again, I still see the “new version” prompt signaling that the update was unsuccessful. If anyone has a workaround it would be greatly appreciated.

I’m having the exact same issue
Can’t seem to update from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4

I have the same issue. I’m using Win11. There is a whole Reddit on this topic too…

Does anyone from Anaconda respond to these posts?

Had the same issue. (Mac OS, Anaconda 2.6.3)
My fix to that was:

  1. close Anaconda GUI
  2. open terminal
  3. start with (base) env and then switched to every environment available
    and use the cmd
    eg. conda activate env1
    conda install anaconda-navigator
    conda deactivate
    conda activate env2
    and so on in each env available
    Dont forget the base environment.
    After that, open Anaconda GUI again, and on my system it states now 2.6.4

if you have conda installed open the anaconda powershell and issue: conda install anaconda::anaconda-navigator worked for me although I only had a base env

This worked for me too (Mac OS, Anaconda 2.6.3).

When I reopened Anaconda-Navigator GUI it looks to be version 2.6.4 based on the application info and I don’t get any more notices to update.

However, when executing the conda list command in my conda base environment, it still lists the anaconda-navigator to be version 2.6.3 and says everything’s updated when I try to update once more. Not sure what to make of this.

Is it the same for you where it lists the anaconda-navigator as version 2.6.3 in base but the GUI is updated? Also, have you been installing anaconda-navigator in all your created envs from now on?
