How to install Rodeo IDE in Anaconda python distribution?
Solution 1
Yhat has released a native desktop version of Rodeo recently. It will be better than the web version. This can be easily installed by downloading the installable from their website mentioned below.

Solution 2
Updated Answer (as of 2016-6-8)
Rodeo has been undergoing a significant re-write since the latest major release, v1.3 which is the currently downloadable version on yhat's website.
I recommend checking out the latest release, v2.0, downloadable from the Rodeo project page on github.
Here's how I set up Anaconda and Rodeo
- Install the latest version of Anaconda
Create a fresh virtual environment which includes jupyter.
conda create --name datasci jupyter
Install the latest version of Rodeo
- Open Rodeo and set the Python Path to your fresh anaconda virtual environment. (In my case //anaconda/envs/datasci/bin/python)
If you're not sure what path to set,
- Open Terminal
- Activate your virtual environment
source activate datasci
- Run
which python
More details in the Rodeo docs. And keep checking github for version updates as they're coming almost daily at this point.

I think the problem is that you need to make sure you are using pip as seen by Anaconda. To get around this I have an alias set up in my .bash_aliases file (not sure what the equivalent is in windows) to call anaconda's version of pip:
alias pip-ana='/home/usr/anaconda/bin/pip'
That means that I use the command pip-ana
to install things to Anaconda's python environment rather than simply pip
as that defaults to an alternative python environment. So to solve your problem, make sure you are using the correct pip
by calling the executable file from anaconda/bin
.

I have a 64bit anaconda python distribution version 2.3 with python 3.4.3 installed on windows 7 machine. I searched about installing rodeo on top of this but seems like "conda install rodeo" wont work, so i did "pip install rodeo".
"pip install rodeo" gave me the following message "Successfully installed rodeo".
But when i type rodeo in cmd to start rodeo it is giving an error saying
"failed to create process."
& i am not able to start rodeo.
Please advise.
Thanks

GeorgeOfTheRF over 8 yearsI only have 1 python related installation in my system which is from anaconda distribution. So pip install should refer to pip from anaconda only right? Also i can see the rodeo.exe in C:\Program Files\anaconda\Scripts

LRP over 8 yearsJust to clarify, you are typing
rodeo .
right? The.
is important as this provides a directory as an argument. -
LRP over 8 yearsAre you sure your path points to the anaconda directory? In my bashrc (not sure what the windows equivalent is) I have the following:
export PATH="/home/usr/anaconda/bin:$PATH"
which was put there by anaconda. -
