Whenever I open a terminal, I have to write

I want a persistent path.

    the file .bashrc (hidden file), located in the home directory, runs codes every time a new terminal is opened.

    Then add a line on it:

    export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

  2. Wouldn't it be nice if somebody else would handle that for you? ;-)

    Edit your .profile and add something like the following lines:

    if [ -d "$HOME/anaconda3/bin" ] ; then
    PATH="$HOME/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
fi

  3. Start with:

    sudo nano ~/.bashrc

    go down to the last line in the file and add

    export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

    then Ctrl+X and then enter

    open a new terminal and enjoy anaconda--navigator

  4. Reinstall anaconda, and notice that at the end of the install process there is a optional selection that allow you to add conda command to your PATH.

    You can choose to say yes, and then you can use the command conda.
