I recently installed Anaconda on my ubuntu 23.10 but every time i try to run the “conda list” or “conda — version” commands on the terminal it throws the error “Conda Command Not Found”.
After researching and being stuck on the issue for long i finally found a solution to this error.
Below is how to solve this error if your are running on ubuntu or any linux operating system.
Error Cause
The terminal throws this error since it does not recognize the “conda” command. The “conda command not found” error occurs whenever the system’s PATH does not include the directory where the “conda” command is installed. This maybe be caused by a number of issues such as incorrect installation. To solve this we have to add the PATH manually.
Solution
Step 1: Anaconda installation verification
Check if you installed Anaconda3 correctly using the following command.
ls ~
By default, anaconda is installed in the home directory. If the installation is correct you should see a directory named “anaconda3” after you run the command.
Step 2: Conda Executable Location
Using the following command to locate the “conda” executable. By default it is located within the “bin” directory.
ls ~/anaconda3/bin
you should see “conda” amongst the list.
Step 3: Add Conda to the System Path

Here which is the main solution to our problem is configuring the “conda” executable to our system’s PATH. To achieve this we modify either the .bashrc or .bash_profile.
In your terminal, type this command to open the .bashrc file in a text editor
nano ~/.bashrc
Add th following line at the end of the file:
export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
Save and close the file. Lastly to save and apply the changes run the following command.
source ~/.bashrc
Step 4: Verify the Solution
This can be done by running the “conda” on the terminal.
conda — version
This should display the version of conda. If your get to see this then you have successfully solved the “conda command not found” error.
Conclusion
Thanks for checking out this and i hope it helped you solve the error. |

I recently installed Anaconda on my ubuntu 23.10 but every time i try to run the “conda list” or “conda — version” commands on the terminal it throws the error “Conda Command Not Found”.
After researching and being stuck on the issue for long i finally found a solution to this error.
Below is how to solve this error if your are running on ubuntu or any linux operating system.
## **Error Cause**
The terminal throws this error since it does not recognize the “conda” command. The “conda command not found” error occurs whenever the system’s PATH does not include the directory where the “conda” command is installed. This maybe be caused by a number of issues such as incorrect installation. To solve this we have to add the PATH manually.
## **Solution**
**Step 1: Anaconda installation verification**
Check if you installed Anaconda3 correctly using the following command.
> ls ~
By default, anaconda is installed in the home directory. If the installation is correct you should see a directory named “anaconda3” after you run the command.

**Step 2: Conda Executable Location**
Using the following command to locate the “conda” executable. By default it is located within the “bin” directory.
> ls ~/anaconda3/bin
you should see “conda” amongst the list.

**Step 3: Add Conda to the System Path**

Here which is the main solution to our problem is configuring the “conda” executable to our system’s PATH. To achieve this we modify either the .bashrc or .bash\_profile.
In your terminal, type this command to open the .bashrc file in a text editor
> nano ~/.bashrc
Add th following line at the end of the file:
> export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:\$PATH

Save and close the file. Lastly to save and apply the changes run the following command.
> source ~/.bashrc
**Step 4: Verify the Solution**
This can be done by running the “conda” on the terminal.
> conda — version
This should display the version of conda. If your get to see this then you have successfully solved the “conda command not found” error.

**Conclusion**
Thanks for checking out this and i hope it helped you solve the error. |
