conda command not found

  • 772

I'm following a Cousera course on Machine learning. We have to use some specific tools such as Graphlab create. Yet, after installing Anaconda with 

bash /Download/Anaconda2-4.0.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

I had to create a new conda environment with Python 2.7.x (I don't now why they didn't moved to python 3 but it seems that it is the way the teachers do its thing on)

conda create -n gl-env python=2.7 anaconda=4.0.

And it ansswered me conda: command not found

I read the related question posted by vincent and tried the best answer by George Udosen with 

sudo mv /root/anaconda3 /home/$mike

But still, I received mv: cannot stat '/root/anaconda3': No such file or directory

conda

    I found an answer in madcurie's answer

    for anaconda 2 :

    export PATH=~/anaconda2/bin:$PATH

    for anaconda 3 :

    export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

    for anaconda 4 :

    Use the Anaconda Prompt

    and then 

    conda --version

    to confirm that it worked.

  2. I was installing Anaconda3-2019.07-Linux-x86_64 (.sh) and was facing the problem of conda not being found as a command.

    The problem was in the .bashrc entry that the installer was setting. I Needed to add

    export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

    in the if entry of

    if [ -f "$anaconda3_path/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then...

  3. I had the same problem !

    You should know first where you have installed anaconda3. If it is installed in /root/anaconda3 so you should first change the user to the root by

    sudo su

    Then you can activate one of conda environments:

    conda activate [env]

    If anaconda3 is installed in user's directory such as /home/[user-name]/anaconda3, you should not have trouble unless the path of conda command is not in the PATH variables.
