How do I get Ubuntu to use Anaconda's python instead of the standard /usr/lib/python...?

Solution 1:

The tilde (~) character is not expanded when enclosed in quotes (even double quotes, which allow most other filename expansions). You should replace ~ by $HOME in the PATH export:

export PATH="/usr/local/texlive/2014/bin/x86_64-linux:$PATH"
export PATH="$HOME/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

Solution 2:

I faced the same issue. Tried this and it works for me

source bin/activate ~/anaconda3/
