You can add anaconda to your pyenv with the following commands:

Here we install both the version 2 and version 3 python environments from anavconda. Please be aware that the install may tacke several minutes. Make sure to install the latest release which you can find out if you leave of the version after the 2 or 3.

When executing:

pyenv versions

you will see after the install completed the anaconda versiosn installed:

pyenv versions
