Problems installing and opening Anaconda3 on macOS Sierra - anaconda

I am using a MacBook Pro (early-2011) with macOS Sierra v10.12.6. I can not install and run Anaconda3. I have downloaded the pkg file from the Anaconda webpage. First day, it took overnight to finish installing. After which it said installation failed. I tried to delete all files and reinstall all over again serval times, but this hasn't worked. I made sure the /opt folder was empty before I reinstall again, but even like that didn't work.
Any ideas how to make it work?

Had a similiar problem with a geriatric iMac mid 2010 running OSX 10.13.16. The GUI installer for Anaconda 3 takes an age, then reports there was a problem.
I downloaded the install script and ran, "bash Anaconda3-2022.05-MacOSX-x86_64.sh" in a terminal.
Answered questions, and after some time, have Anaconda installed in my personal space. Now to figure out how to use the latest LTS Julia.

No Anaconda support. Current Anaconda (and likely Miniconda) distribution declares a minimum system requirement of macOS v10.13+. One could try scraping back through the archive to find an older distribution that will install, but I wouldn't recommend that.
Conda Forge supports macOS 10.9+. Conda Forge still builds all osx-64 packages with a macOS 10.9 target. Hence, you should be fine using instead a Miniforge variant for the base Conda installation. I strongly recommend Mambaforge, and using mamba instead of conda.

Anaconda installer not working - Windows 10

I have installed the Anaconda 3 in my windows 10 and it has not installed the Scripts folder and the Anaconda Prompt or Navigator applications.
I have come here and in other sources for an answer and tried to reinstall, use the cmd as adm to install with the conda commands, but the system does not recognize the conda command. I have seen answers with the Scripts folder, but it was not installed.
I have also seen answers advising me to install miniconda and then update to anaconda, but again, miniconda has the same problem as anaconda: no scripts folder, no recognition of the conda command.
I don't know what to do.
Dear all who may have had the same problem, what worked for me was to install the 32-bit version, I had heard it was more stable.
I did not have to restart Windows after installing this version, It was already there, Anaconda Prompt and Navigator.
I work on a hp Probook with windows 10 and the problem was that the application hp Sure Sense Installer block the installation of anaconda. After uninstalling the hp Sure Sense Installer application and reinstalling anaconda, everything works fine !

How to install System Python 2.7 on a Mac

I need to know How to install System Python 2.7 on my Mac. This is because, I unknowingly uninstalled it (I thought I was removing the Python I downloaded from Python.org)
I followed this Stack Overflow answer, and after the damage had been done, I read the comments telling me NOT TO do that.
The current reason I am wanting to install System Python 2.7 is because it is needed to install PyGame. Below is a screenshot of what I am facing when trying to install PyGame:
I recommend installing packages on OS X using Homebrew as it keeps everything you install in one place. Allowing you to upgrade or uninstall easily and not needing to remember how or where you installed it.
Once it is installed you simply type brew install python in your terminal. This will install Python 2.7.10 and it will be available at /usr/local/bin/python.
The only supported way to restore the system Python framework on macOS is to reinstall the operating system. It is treated as a component of the core operating system, so there is no way to selectively reinstall it.

Install wxpython on mac

I am new to Mac, have always used windows and I am confused on how to install wxPython. I downloaded the .dmg file from the website, and it contained three files:
a pkg file, a readme, and an uninstall.py
I opened the pkg file, went through the steps, and Im not sure where it installed after it said "Installation Complete"
Also, I did the import wx in idle, which caused a stacktrace error.
Thanks.
From personal experience on installing wxPython on both Windows 7 and Mac OSX, I found restarting the computer helps out after installation and stacktrace errors appearing in the Shell upon 'import wx'. Sounds simple enough, but it worked for me. If no errors appear after 'import wx', that means wxPython installed correctly. To add to bouke's answer above, the current way to install Python 2.7 via homebrew in Terminal:
brew install python
To install wxPython:
brew install wxpython
At least for development, I would suggest to install (python and) wx using homebrew. It will install version 2.9 and you're ensured that Apple-provided system libraries remain untouched.

Where to put node folder for node.js install?

It's currently in the directory:
/Users/myusername/node
but I feel like it should be closer to root? Maybe in /Developer? I'm having trouble finding an other advice online. I'm on macosx lion right now.
Thanks!
There is also now a Macintosh(or Windows) installer available for current releases(0.6.18 currently the latest at time of this writing). The universal .pkg installer will handle the everything for you so you don't need to worry about it :-)
If you want to know where the install ends up, I recently installed v0.6.17 on OSX Lion 10.7.4 and it looks like most of the files are under /usr/local/. Shell commands in /usr/local/bin/. Global node_modules and npm in /usr/local/lib/node_modules.
Hope that helps!
Since you're on Mac OS X you can use homebrew to manage the installation of a number of things that have recipes. Node.js is one of them.

Once homebrew is installed and up to date you can simply run a command like the following.
brew install node.js

Imagemagick installation no good on Lion

I have a fresh installation of Lion. I need to install ImageMagick (IM) to use the "identify" command line tool to search for corrupt images in folders that have thousands of time lapse images.
I have installed IM from the Mac OS X Binary Release, word for word based on these directions.
I have Xcode 4.2 installed from the Mac App Store.
X11 appears to be installed default with Lion. X11 about shows: XQuartz 2.6.3 (xorg-server 1.10.3).
The problem is that IM's installation appears successful but every time I use the "identify" command it returns "identify: command not found".
I have searched and searched (within stack overflow, google, etc.) and found MANY MANY articles on both subjects (IM and detecting corrupt images), but I've found nothing that helps me out.
I have also tried installing MacPorts and that didn't work either. And it freaked me out as one of it's dependencies was downloaded from Facebook.net (WHAT?!). I did a fresh install of Lion after that happened.
Thanks for your time.
Installing ImageMagick with Homebrew worked for me:
brew install imagemagick
