So I've been trying to install Anaconda on elementary os. I used the steps found on this website http://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/install/linux/. And got the following error.

bash: /home/anton/.bashrc: line 171: syntax error near unexpected token `added'

bash: /home/anton/.bashrc: line 171: esac# added by Anaconda3 5.3.0 installer'

apparently this means that on line 171 it should be

esac #added by Anaconda3 5.3.0 installer'

but if this line was added by the installer I don't know what I can do to edit it.

Was this the last line in .bashrc before installing anaconda?
If so you could try adding a newline at the end of the .bashrc before installing anaconda.

The part in the Anaconda3-5.3.0-Linux-x86_64.sh that appends code to the .bashrc (line 719...736)

  cat <<EOF >> "$BASH_RC"

# added by Anaconda3 5.3.0 installer

# >>> conda init >>>

# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!

__conda_setup="$(CONDA_REPORT_ERRORS=false '$PREFIX/bin/conda' shell.bash hook 2> /dev/null)"

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then

    \eval "$__conda_setup"

else

    if [ -f "$PREFIX/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then

        . "$PREFIX/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"

        CONDA_CHANGEPS1=false conda activate base

    else

        \export PATH="$PREFIX/bin:$PATH"

    fi

fi

unset __conda_setup

# <<< conda init <<<

EOF
