title: anaconda install python 3.4 on windows
body: <p>I want to install and use python 3.4 and its numerous libraries, (such as numpy, pandas, etc) using Anaconda.  Unfortunately, I am unable to activate python 3.4.</p>
  
  <p>I installed Acaconda 2.0 (Anaconda-2.0.0-Windows-x86_64) on a Windows 8 notebook.  The Anaconda program installed properly and python 2.7 was installed.  I then attempted to install python 3.4 using these commands at a command prompt in the C:\Program Files\Anaconda directory.</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ conda update conda
  $ conda create -n py34 python=3.4 anaconda
  $ activate py34
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The first two seemed to work fine as I saw no error messages. At the last step I receive the following error message:  <code>No environment named “py34” exits in C:\Program Files\Anaconda\envs</code></p>
  
  <p>Python 3.4 was installed not in the C:\Program Files\Anaconda but in the C:\Users\Daddio1949\envs\py34 directory.  </p>
  
  <p>I not sure how to proceed to finalize the installation, what should I do?</p>
