Conda command not found

I’ve installed Miniconda and have added the environment variable export PATH="/home/username/miniconda3/bin:$PATH" to my .bashrc and .bash_profile but still can’t run any conda commands in my terminal.

Am I missing another step in my setup? I’m using zsh by the way.

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Method 1

If you’re using zsh and it has not been set up to read .bashrc, you need to add the Miniconda directory to the zsh shell PATH environment variable. Add this to your .zshrc:

export PATH="/home/username/miniconda/bin:$PATH"

Make sure to replace /home/username/miniconda with your actual path.

Save, exit the terminal and then reopen the terminal. conda command should work.

Method 2

If you have the PATH in your .bashrc file and are still getting

conda: command not found

Your terminal might not be looking for the bash file.
Type
bash in the terminal to ensure you are in bash and then try:
conda --version

Method 3

Maybe you need to execute “source ~/.bashrc”

Method 4

For those experiencing issues after upgrading to MacOS Catalina.

Short version:

# 1a) Use tool: conda-prefix-replacement - 
# Restores: Desktop -> Relocated Items -> Security -> anaconda3
curl -L https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/misc/cpr-exec/cpr-0.1.1-osx-64.exe -o cpr && chmod +x cpr
./cpr rehome ~/anaconda3
# or if fails
#./cpr rehome ~/anaconda3 --old-prefix /Anaconda3
source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate

# 1b) Alternatively - reintall anaconda - 
# brew cask install anaconda

# 2) conda init
conda init zsh
# or
# conda init

Method 5

Sometimes, if you don’t restart your terminal after you have installed anaconda also, it gives this error.

Close your terminal window and restart it.

It worked for me now!

Method 6

Maybe you should type add this to your .bashrc or .zshrc

export PATH="/anaconda3/bin":$PATH

It worked for me.

Method 7

To initialize your shell run the below code

source ~/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate Your_env

It’s Worked for me, I got the solution from the below link
https://www.codegrepper.com/code-[“CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use ‘conda activate’.][1]examples/shell/CommandNotFoundError%3A+Your+shell+has+not+been+properly+configured+to+use+%27conda+activate%27.+To+initialize+your+shell%2C+run

Method 8

conda :command not found

Try adding below line to your .bashrc file

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

then try:

conda --version

to see version

and then to take affect

conda init

Method 9

Execute the following command after installing and adding to the path

source ~/.bashrc

where source is a bash shell built-in command that executes the content of the file passed as argument, in the current shell.

It runs during boot up automatically.

Method 10

I had the same issue. I just closed and reopened the terminal, and it worked. That was because I installed anaconda with the terminal open.

Method 11

I faced this issue on my mac after updating conda. Solution was to run conda mini installer on top of existing conda setup.

$ curl https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh -o ~/miniconda3.sh
$ bash ~/miniconda3.sh -bfp ~/miniconda3

On linux, you can use:

$ curl https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh -o ~/miniconda3.sh
$ bash ~/miniconda3.sh -bfp ~/miniconda3

For other versions, you can go to https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/

For details check:
https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1364

Method 12

Make sure that you are installing the Anaconda binary that is compatible with your kernel.
I was in the same situation.Turned out I have an x64_86 CPU and was trying to install a 64 bit Power 8 installer.You can find out the same for your CPU by using the following command.It gives you a basic information about a computer’s software and hardware.-

$ uname -a

https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux

The page in the link above, displays 2 different types of 64-Bit installers –

  • 64-Bit (x86) installer and
  • 64-Bit (Power 8) installer.

Method 13

I had to run the following command to activate the shell:

eval "$(/home/username/anaconda3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"

Method 14

export PATH=”~/anaconda3/bin”:$PATH

Method 15

The brute-force way could be

if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/root/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/root/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
    else
        export PATH="/root/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi

Then initialize and test Conda.

conda init
conda -V

Which is what Conda tries to do. Take a look at the end of ~/.bashrc with less ~/.bashrc or with cat ~/.bashrc

Method 16

Do the same thing as the suggestion given by bash console, but pay attention that there are some errors in the suggestion (the file path format is incorrect). Paste these two commands in the bash console for windows:

echo ". C:/Users/mingm/Anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

and

echo "conda activate" >> ~/.bashrc

After having pasted these two commands, exit the bash console, reload it and then activate the virtual environment by entering “conda activate your_env_name”.

Method 17

It can be a silly mistake, make sure that you use anaconda3 instead of anaconda in the export path if you installed so.

Method 18

For Conda > 4.4 follow this:

$ echo ". /home/ubuntu/miniconda2/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bashrc

then you need to reload user bash so you need to log out:

exit

and then log again.

Method 19

This worked for me on CentOS and miniconda3. Find out which shell you are using

echo $0

conda init bash (could be conda init zsh if you are using zsh, etc.) – this adds a path to ~/.bashrc

Reload command line

sourc ~/.bashrc OR . ~/.bashrc

Method 20

I have encountered this problem lately and I have found a solution that worked for me. It is possible that your current user might not have permissions to anaconda directory, so check if you can read/write there, and if not, then change the files owner by using chown.

Method 21

MacOSX: cd /Users/USER_NAME/anaconda3/bin && ./activate
