> [accordion] Using Navigator with a network firewall?
>
> To use Navigator in online mode (A mode where Navigator is connected to a network, usually the internet, so that it can download and install packages.), you must be able to reach the following sites:
>
> * `https://repo.anaconda.com` for repositories and installers
> * `https://anaconda.org` (and its subdomains `https://conda.anaconda.org` and `https://pypi.anaconda.org`) for conda-forge and other channels (A location (URL or file path) in a repository where conda looks for packages.) on anaconda.org
> * `https://anaconda.cloud` (Navigator versions 2.6.5 and older) for application tiles and learning and community cards
> * `https://anaconda.com` (Navigator versions 2.6.6 and later) for application tiles and learning and community cards
>
> If necessary, add these URLs to an allowlist in your network's firewall settings.
>
> To use Navigator in offline mode, see [Enabling offline mode](https://anaconda.com/docs/legacy/anaconda-navigator/tutorials/offline-mode.md).

## Installing Navigator

Navigator is automatically installed when you install [Anaconda Distribution](https://anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/installation.md).

If you have [Miniconda](https://anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/installation.md), install Navigator manually into your base environment by opening Anaconda Prompt (A command-line application included with Windows installations of Anaconda Distribution and Miniconda. Find it by searching 'Anaconda Prompt' in the Windows Start menu.) (Terminal on macOS/Linux) and running the following command:

```sh theme={null}
conda install --name base anaconda-navigator
```

> [!NOTE]
>
> If you installed Miniconda using the [protected base installer](https://anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/protected-base-beta.md), your `base` environment is frozen. To install Anaconda Navigator into `base`, use the `conda self install` command instead:
>
> ```sh theme={null}
> conda self install anaconda-navigator
> ```
>
> For more information on managing packages in your `base` environment, see [Managing your protected `base` environment](https://anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/protected-base-beta#managing-your-protected-base-environment).

View the packages in your base environment to confirm Navigator is installed:

```sh theme={null}
conda list --name base anaconda-navigator
```

Open Navigator with the following command:

```sh theme={null}
anaconda-navigator
```

If you'd rather not use the command line to open Navigator, see [Starting Navigator](https://anaconda.com/docs/legacy/anaconda-navigator/getting-started.md#starting-navigator) for system-specific instructions.
