I installed Anaconda for Python 2.7 on my Windows machine and wanted to add the Anaconda interpreter to PyDev, but quick googling couldn't find the default place where Anaconda installed, and searching SO didn't turn up anything useful, so.

Where does Anaconda 4.0 install on Windows 7?

To find where Anaconda was installed I used the "where" command on the command line in Windows.

C:\>where anaconda

which for me returned:

C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\Scripts\anaconda.exe

Which allowed me to find the Anaconda Python interpreter at

C:\Users\User-Name\AppData\Local\Continuum\Anaconda2\python.exe

to update PyDev
