https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/navigator/install.html

Start a Jupyter notebook using one of two methods:

1. From the Anaconda Navigator, launch jupyter notebook.

2. From the command line, type "jupyter notebook".

Navigate to your working directory. Open a new Python 3 notebook.

Cut and paste the following into the first cell of the notebook and type shift-return to run that cell. Let me know if you get any errors.
