Checking the Anaconda installation

This recipe shows you how to do some basic checking. We will verify that the software can be started and that the correct version is being used.

How to do it...

Open a new Terminal window and run the following command:

python3

Verify the information displayed in the Terminal. It will look like the following:

Python 3.6.0 |Anaconda 4.3.1 (x86_64)| (default, Dec 23 2016, 13:19:00) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.0 (clang-600.0.57)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>

Notice that, in the output, we can check that we are indeed running the Python 3 version distributed with Anaconda.

You have now successfully installed Anaconda on your computer.
