Anaconda Launcher is now deprecated
===================================

As of Anaconda 4.0, Anaconda Launcher has been replaced 
by :doc:`/anaconda/navigator/index`. This section has been left in place as a 
reference for users of earlier versions of Anaconda. Some users who have upgraded 
from an earlier version may have both Navigator and Launcher installed, which is 
harmless. Launcher can be uninstalled with a single command::

  conda remove launcher
