After installing Anaconda on Manjaro，Can't find a place to start

Recently I've been learning Python，The course uses Anaconda as the development environment，The interface feels quite intuitive，I wanted to try installing it on Manjaro at home to practice，But it didn't go very smoothly。The first installation failed due to insufficient space，也才發現原來 anaconda 需要用掉數G的空間，應該是因為裏面有眾多套件的關係。

　　在解決空間問題後，總算把 anaconda 給安裝起來，但安裝後，卻找不到如何啟動它，不斷的確認有安裝成功，卻納悶怎麼會沒有地方可以啟動，上網查了後，原來程式位於 “/opt/anaconda/bin” 底下，且需要自行手動新增一個應用程式的捷徑，否則每次要執行就得下指令去執行了。

1. Use sudo to run the text editor，I use wxMEdit。

sudo wxmedit

2. 貼上以下內容。

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Name=Anaconda-Navigator
GenericName=Anaconda
Comment=Scientific PYthon Development EnviRonment - Python3
Exec=bash -c 'source /opt/anaconda/bin/activate && anaconda-navigator'
Categories=Development;Science;IDE;Qt;Education;
Icon=python
Terminal=false
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=text/x-python;

3. Save to “/usr/share/applications”，檔名為 “anaconda-navigator.desktop”。

4. After that, you can find Anaconda Navigator through search。
