I installed anaconda and I get this (python 2.7.9)

I am running ipython notebook on Windows 8 and terminal option unavailable for me. How do I activate it? please

Answer 1

Windows do not support tty terminal, and terminado only works if the underlying terminal is a tty. So for now there is not support for terminals on Windows. There is no short-term plan to support terminal either.
