Continuum Analytics: Documentation

# Verifying your installation

On all operating systems, you can confirm that Anaconda is installed and working by either of two methods:

- From a command prompt or terminal window, enter a command such as `conda list`. If Anaconda is installed and working, this will display a list of installed packages and their versions.
- From a command prompt or terminal window, enter the command `python`. This command runs the Python shell. If Anaconda is installed and working, the version information it displays when it starts up will include “Anaconda” or “Continuum Analytics, Inc.” To exit the Python shell, enter the command `quit()`.
