Anaconda 3 throwing error when installed in Linux Mint 19 – Debian

I had a previous version of Anaconda 2 (working with Python 2.7), which I uninstalled to newly install Anaconda 3 (to work with Python 3.x).

While the previous Anaconda 2 was working fine, the newly installed Anaconda 3 throws the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/partha/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/widgets/main_window.py", line 541, in setup

UnboundLocalError: local variable 'DISTRO_NAME' referenced before assignment

Any help to get started with the new installation will be much appreciated.
I am using Linux Mint 19 with the following info:

    A quick google search showed that an issue was open about your problems few days ago in github

    Fortunately a workaround was posted:

    Editing the file: “…/anaconda3//lib/python3.7/site-packages/anaconda_navigator/api/external_apps/vscode.py”
    By declaring the variable outside the loop.
    Just add the line:
    DISTRO_NAME = None
    on Line 159 and indent it in line with the if above it (Outside it)

    I got a similar experience this morning. But I was able to resolve mine by typing this into my command-line interface(CLI).

    conda update anaconda-navigator

    I hope this work for you.
