You need to configure three environment variables, namely:

(3) Root directory of Anaconda + "\Library\bin"
For example, the root directory of Anaconda in this computer is:
"D:\Anaconda3", then the three paths that need to be added are:
D:\Anaconda3
D:\Anaconda3\Scripts
D:\Anaconda3\Library\bin
Check if the installation is successful
"Start → Anaconda3 (64-bit) → Anaconda Navigator". If Anaconda Navigator can be successfully started, the installation is successful.
