Final answer:

To launch Anaconda from the terminal, run the command 'anaconda-navigator' in Linux or macOS, or start it from Anaconda Prompt in Windows. For Conda command-line tool access, just use 'conda'. Ensure you have Anaconda installed and possibly activate your virtual environment before launching.

Step-by-step explanation:

To launch Anaconda from the terminal, you should first ensure that it's installed on your system. If it is installed, you can typically start Anaconda Navigator by running the command anaconda-navigator if you are on a Linux or macOS system. If you're on Windows, you can start the Anaconda Prompt from the Start menu, and then type the command from there.

In some cases, especially if you're using a virtual environment, you might need to activate the environment first by running conda activate myenv, where myenv is the name of your environment. If you just need to access the Conda command-line tool rather than the Navigator GUI, simply typing conda in the terminal will give you a list of possible Conda commands. Remember that the way to open a terminal varies by operating system, but generally, you can look for 'Terminal' on macOS and Linux, or 'Command Prompt' or 'Anaconda Prompt' on Windows.
