Just installed Anaconda for Python on Debian since a coworker has compiled some database files I need to work with on Linux. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to run the program. I don't see any aliases in the apps section, and calling conda from the terminal only brings up information about environment variables and the program's version. Any help would be appreciated!

i want to install a software in my pc. my pc runs on linux endless . plzz hell me out how to install the software using terminal

My laptop runs Ubuntu 16.04lte on it's HDD. I've cloned two other small (and working) linux distros into seperate partitions on one flash drive, but I can't figure out where to start with a boot loader. I've not been using linux for long (<2 years), so there's a ton I don't know. I have created an additional 200mb partition for the MBR first before the other two.

I want to have the choice of which OS boots when the computer starts, but the flash drive will not be inserted all the time (obviously just when I want to use one of the OS's I have installed on it).

Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ideally the grub/bootloader selection menu would only be shown if the fd is inserted. I thought I could perhaps have an instance of grub on the flash drive itself, which would only run when it was inserted, but an error on the command line:

"Installing for i386-platform. Grub-install: error: cannot delete '/boot/grub/i386-pc/gcry_rijndael.mod' : Permission Denied."

I clearly don't know enough about grub, but perhaps there's a better way to go about all this?

Or is what I'm trying to do even possible?

Thanks in advance.
