What are the default location for an anaconda / miniconda installations on Windows?

I need to figure out for our software, where could Anaconda or Miniconda install itself on Windows platforms. I need this, to not bother the user by asking the location of they installation, if it is the default.



So far I found, that the C:UsersusernameAnacondaX (C:UsersusernameMinicondaX) is the default on my machine, if I choose install only for my user, or C:ProgramDataAnacondaX (C:AppDataMinicondaX). if I choose installation for all users. (X here can be either 2 or 3 - for python2 or python3).



But I'm not sure, that this applies for all Windows machines, or they could be other possible locations. So my question is: are there more possible default locations, where Conda (Anaconda/Miniconda) could possibly install itself?



Thanks for the answers!

  • I think you mean the default installation path because manually the user can install it almost anywhere... If I remember right than these two default destination was for us too.

You can try determining where your version of python is installed first (dynamically) by doing:



import os                   
print(os.environ['path'])


It'll yield all the path information of your current system (in Windows OS). Then you can parse that text output and make sense out of it.

  • Wouldn't it be easier to use sys.executable to determine the specific Python executable being run?
