Question

When I click on the navigator it says, The application "Navigator" can't be opened How can I fix this? It was completely fine few days ago and now I am trying to open it again and it says this suddenly. I tried updating it but still no result.
I am using Mac book OS Sierra version 10.12.3.

I tried updating the anaconda and navigator still not working

conda update anaconda
conda update anaconda-navigator

command line : anaconda-navigator gives

Answer 1

Have you tried launching from the command line? You can simply type:

anaconda-navigator

If you continue to have issues opening it this will at least provide a more descriptive traceback.

Answer 2

Been searching for solution for the same problem. Since I have uninstalled Anaconda completely and anaconda-navigator still won't launch after a fresh installation, I suspect that I messed up with my Windows system. And yes, the

vcruntime140_1.dll

file was accidentally removed. I downloaded the file from https://dll-files.com and put it back in the system folder, and problem solved! anaconda-navigator is working again.

Answer 3

You can solve it by opening a terminal and typing:

conda update pip

You can also test with this:

conda update -all
