To test, simply type jup from anywhere in the ubuntu directory and it will take you notebooks folder and run jupyter.Restart the terminal for this new command to take effect. bash_aliases: alias jup='cd /home/kauff/notebooks & jupyter notebook -no-browser. I made an alias for the juypter command by putting this command in my.ln -s /mnt/c/Users/kauff/Documents/JupyterNotebooks/ notebooks Now when you look at Jupyter on :8888, you should see a notebooks folder that has everything your C:/Users/kauff folder has.made a symlink between my C:/Users/kauff/Documents/JupyterNotebooks folder (where I put my downloaded notebooks in Windows) to my Ubuntu notebook directory:.Leave a comment on anything you see that doesn't work and I can look into it! A few other things that I did out of laziness but aren't necessary If it worked, you should see your notebooks! In the terminal, it will give you a link to paste into your browser. it's necessary since you don't have a browser (probably) in your subsystem. The no browser flag will still run Jupyter on port 8888, but it won't pop it open automatically. To open jupyter, type $ jupyter notebook -no-browser.To do this, I added 'export PATH=/home/kauff/anaconda3/bin:$PATH' to the bottom of my ~/.bashrc file. Manually add the Anaconda bin folder to your PATH.If it doesn't have anaconda in the path, do the next step. Mine is /home/kauff/anaconda3/bin/python. It should print a path that has anaconda in it.

To test that it worked, run $ which python.Close the terminal and reopen it to reload.Optionally install VS Code when prompted (some have reported this installation doesn't work - checkout ).When asks you if you'd like the installer to prepend it to the path, say yes. Read the license agreement and follow the prompts to accept.Run the installation script: $ bash Anaconda.sh ( $ bash Anaconda3-5.2.0-Linux-x86_64.sh).If you accidentally try to install the wrong one, you'll get a warning in the terminal.

If I had a 32-bit computer, I'd select the x86.sh version. I have a 64-bit computer, so I chose the latest release ending in x86_64.sh.

Go to to find the list of Anaconda releases.

I recommend the latest version (I'm using 18.04) because there are some bugs they worked out during 14/16 ( microsoft/WSL#785)

Install WSL (Ubuntu for Windows - can be found in Windows Store).

Steps to Install Anaconda on Windows Ubuntu Terminal I encourage you all to help each other, but I probably won't be answering questions anymore. Thanks everyone for commenting/contributing! I made this in college for a class and I no longer really use the technology.
