## Installing Navigator

Navigator is automatically installed when you install [Anaconda Distribution](/getting-started/anaconda/install/overview).

If you have [Miniconda](/getting-started/miniconda/main), install Navigator manually into your base environment by opening [Anaconda Prompt](/reference/glossary#anaconda-prompt) (Terminal on macOS/Linux) and running the following command:

```sh theme={null}
conda install --name base anaconda-navigator
```

View the packages in your base environment to confirm Navigator is installed:

```sh theme={null}
conda list --name base anaconda-navigator
```

Open Navigator with the following command:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda-navigator
```

If you'd rather not use the command line to open Navigator, see [Starting Navigator](/tools/anaconda-navigator/getting-started#starting-navigator) for system-specific instructions.
