I love the Windows Terminal and if you haven't tried it out yet I highly recommend it. Its _super_ customizable which is absolutely lovely. Here are the steps to add Anaconda Prompt to Windows Terminal.

## Prerequisites

- [Install Windows Terminal](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9n0dx20hk701?activetab=pivot:overviewtab)

- [Install Anaconda](https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/)

- Windows 10

## Add Anaconda Prompt

1. Open Windows Terminal and click the arrow and then `settings`. This will open the `profiles.json` file to customize the terminal.

2. Duplicate the `cmd` settings by copying and pasting them below or highlight `CTRL + D` if using visual studio to duplicate the selected text. (I ♥ shortcuts)

3. Update the `guid` to something unique by changing the last number

4. Update the `name` to `Anaconda`

5. Next update the `commandline` to the cmd for `Anaconda Prompt`. The easiest way to do this is to grab the target path from the Anaconda Prompt shortcut.

    - Search for `Anaconda Prompt` in the windows search bar

    - Right click and `open file location`

    - Right click on the `Anaconda Prompt` shortcut

    - Click `properties`

    - Grab the target path

    - Delete the extra text to get the path (shown below)

The new terminal `profiles.json` should look something like this:

6. Save the changes to the `profiles.json` file

7. Open Windows Terminal

8. Click the down arrow and select `Anaconda`

9. BOOM! Anaconda in Windows Terminal.
