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
Z shell
(executable
zsh
) by the way.

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.

It works! But the path has a slight difference.
export PATH="/Users/victorzhang/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"
, the path beginning is
/Users/
, instead of
/home/

For those who don't know: copy the command in the

/User/<yourusername>/
directory.

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

thanks for this! But what is the reason we have to type bash?
2019-12-18T16:00:28.41Z+00:00
im not 100% sure but I think it's to let your command prompt read the bashrc file
2019-12-18T16:36:16.737Z+00:00
Yes, the start script for conda was added inside your .bashrc file during installation, so you need to start bash shell to start the conda
2021-01-12T00:55:14.17Z+00:00
why isn't this already in my path? Why do I need to manually add it? :/
2022-11-08T23:29:27.273Z+00:00
when you installed conda you might have select NO to add to path since it's the default.

To initialize your shell, run the below code:
source ~/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate Your_env
It worked for me. I got the solution from the below link

Don't forget to replace anaconda3 with miniconda3 if you're using miniconda.
2022-09-11T12:04:20.537Z+00:00
This works only on current terminal
2023-01-31T06:38:49.57Z+00:00
This is the one that has worked successfully without any hassle in my case. I was facing the same problem in my WSL2 Ubuntu and Desktop Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS both. I changed
anaconda3
with
miniconda3
as I was using miniconda. At last, I used
conda init
. After that, it initializes the Conda env in any newly opened terminal automatically like I wanted.

Place this line in your ~/.bashrc file, then source ~/.bashrc or close and open the terminal so that you don't have to run this line every time you open a new terminal.

@KaranSharma I believe it resets the environment variables for your profile. If you recently installed Anaconda, that file was edited by the installer with the new env variables, but have not been loaded for conda or other utilities. I might be wrong, I'm new to this whole thing.

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

For those experiencing issues after upgrading to
macOS v10.15
(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 - reinstall Anaconda -
# brew cask install anaconda
# 2) conda init
conda init zsh
# or
# conda init

I am using a
WSL
system.
In my case, for the
conda
command to be added to the path, and persist, I had to do the following:
First:
vim ~/.bashrc
This will open the .bashrc file using
Vim
. You should go to the bottom of the file using the arrow keys, click
i
to toggle the insert mode and paste:
export PATH="$PATH:/home/userName/miniconda3/bin"
.
After that, save and close Vim using
:wq
.
(if you are not comfortable using Vim, you can use the
nano
command instead)
nano ~/.bashrc
Second:
source ~/.bashrc
Third:
Close and open the terminal! This should work for everyone.
To test if it is working, try:
conda --version

I faced this issue on my Mac after updating Conda. The solution was to run the Conda mini installer on top of the 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/

Make sure that you are installing the Anaconda binary that is compatible with your kernel.
I was in the same situation. It turned out I have an x64_86 CPU and was trying to install a 64-bit
POWER8
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 two different types of 64-bit installers:
64-bit (x86) installer and
64-bit (POWER8) installer.

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

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".

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

~/.bashrc
Reload command line
sourc ~/.bashrc

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

For Conda > 4.4 follow this:

Then you need to reload user bash, so you need to log out:

I've installed [Miniconda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)) and have added the environment variable `export PATH="/home/username/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"` to my *[.bashrc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example)* and *[.bash\_profile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example)*, but still can't run any Conda commands in my terminal.
Am I missing another step in my setup? I'm using [Z shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell) (executable `zsh`) by the way.

Did you try with full path `/home/username/miniconda3/bin/conda`?

And your `zsh` is set up to read `.bashrc` (I doubt it, it's called `._bash_rc` for a reason)? By default `zsh` reads `.zprofile` and `.zshrc`, instead (plus `.zlogin` for login shells).

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`:
```
Copyexport 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.

Instead of exiting and reopening, Using `source ~/.zshrc` will do

It works! But the path has a slight difference. `export PATH="/Users/victorzhang/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"`, the path beginning is `/Users/`, instead of `/home/` still thank you @olivrg

For those who don't know: copy the command in the `.zshrc` file that will be located in your `/User/<yourusername>/` directory.

`nano ~/.bashrc` - then in the end add `export PATH="/home/username/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"` Make check if its miniconda or miniconda3 `source ~./.bashrc`

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`

im not 100% sure but I think it's to let your command prompt read the bashrc file

Yes, the start script for conda was added inside your .bashrc file during installation, so you need to start bash shell to start the conda

when you installed conda you might have select NO to add to path since it's the default.

To initialize your shell, run the below code:
```
Copy
```
It worked for me. I got the solution from the below link

Don't forget to replace anaconda3 with miniconda3 if you're using miniconda.

This is the one that has worked successfully without any hassle in my case. I was facing the same problem in my WSL2 Ubuntu and Desktop Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS both. I changed `anaconda3` with `miniconda3` as I was using miniconda. At last, I used `conda init`. After that, it initializes the Conda env in any newly opened terminal automatically like I wanted.

Place this line in your ~/.bashrc file, then source ~/.bashrc or close and open the terminal so that you don't have to run this line every time you open a new terminal.

@KaranSharma I believe it resets the environment variables for your profile. If you recently installed Anaconda, that file was edited by the installer with the new env variables, but have not been loaded for conda or other utilities. I might be wrong, I'm new to this whole thing.

Sometimes, if you don't restart your terminal after you have also installed Anaconda, it gives this error.
Close your terminal window and restart it.
It worked for me now\!

Also instead of close/open terminal, could `source ~/.bashrc` OR `. ~/.barshrc` if bash is a shell you are using (to see your shell `echo $0`)

For those experiencing issues after upgrading to [macOS v10.15](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Catalina) (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 - reinstall Anaconda -
# brew cask install anaconda
# 2) conda init
conda init zsh
# or
# conda init
```

**conda: command not found**
Try adding the below line to your .bashrc file:
```
export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
```
Then try:
```
conda --version
```
to see the version.
And then for it to take effect
```
conda init
```

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

`echo $0` to see what shell if it is `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` OR `ls -ld ~/.*` to see which one is already there.

Execute the following command after installing and adding to the path
```
Copysource ~/.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.

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.

I am using a [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) system.
In my case, for the *conda* command to be added to the path, and persist, I had to do the following:
### First:
```
Copyvim ~/.bashrc
```
This will open the .bashrc file using [Vim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_%28text_editor%29). You should go to the bottom of the file using the arrow keys, click `i` to toggle the insert mode and paste: `export PATH="$PATH:/home/userName/miniconda3/bin"`.
After that, save and close Vim using `:wq`.
(if you are not comfortable using Vim, you can use the `nano` command instead)
```
Copynano ~/.bashrc
```
### Second:
```
Copysource ~/.bashrc
```
### Third:
Close and open the terminal! This should work for everyone.
To test if it is working, try:
```
Copyconda --version
```

If you are using Linux:
After installing Anaconda from the *.sh* file (which you can download from <https://www.spyder-ide.org/>):
Step 1: Activate the environment in the terminal by entering the below command.
```
source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate
```
Step 2:
Type *spyder* in the terminal. You can get the Spyder IDE.
```
spyder
```

I faced this issue on my Mac after updating Conda. The solution was to run the Conda mini installer on top of the existing Conda setup.
```
Copy
```
On Linux, you can use:
```
Copy
```
For other versions, you can go to <https://repo.continuum.io/miniconda/>
For details, check: *[Conda command not found after running conda update package \#1364](https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1364)*

That is a bit terse. In what context? Where should it be applied?

Make sure that you are installing the Anaconda binary that is compatible with your kernel.
I was in the same situation. It turned out I have an x64\_86 CPU and was trying to install a 64-bit [POWER8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER8) 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.
```
Copyuname -a
```
<https://www.anaconda.com/download/#linux>
The page in the link above displays two different types of 64-bit installers:
- 64-bit (x86) installer and
- 64-bit (POWER8) installer.

The brute-force way could be
```
Copy
```
Then initialize and test Conda.
```
Copy
```
Which is what Conda tries to do. Take a look at the end of `~/.bashrc` with `less ~/.bashrc` or with `cat ~/.bashrc`

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

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

This worked on an [M1 Mac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1):
To get the user name:
```
Copyecho $USER
```
Then substitute my\_username with the correct one.
```
Copysource /Users/my_username/opt/anaconda3/bin/activate
```

By default, Anaconda and Miniconda will put necessary command alias to the [.bashrc file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example) file.
All you have to do is to reload added alias inside `~/.bashrc` using this command:
```
Copysource ~/.bashrc
```

This works. Alternatively, if you are using zsh, you need to source ~/.zshrc

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`

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`.

For Conda \> 4.4 follow this:
```
Copyecho ". /home/ubuntu/miniconda2/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.bashrc
```
Then you need to reload user bash, so you need to log out:
```
Copyexit
```
And then log again.

What do you mean by *"reload user bash"*? Reload the content of file *.bashrc*? Or something to do with file `/usr/bash`? Or something else?

For me uninstalling and reinstalling miniconda did the trick. I did lose all my existing repos but at least the command works now.

I've installed [Miniconda](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaconda_\(Python_distribution\)) and have added the environment variable `export PATH="/home/username/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"` to my *[.bashrc](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example)* and *[.bash\_profile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example)*, but still can't run any Conda commands in my terminal.
Am I missing another step in my setup? I'm using [Z shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_shell) (executable `zsh`) by the way.

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.

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`

This is the one that has worked successfully without any hassle in my case. I was facing the same problem in my WSL2 Ubuntu and Desktop Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS both. I changed `anaconda3` with `miniconda3` as I was using miniconda. At last, I used `conda init`. After that, it initializes the Conda env in any newly opened terminal automatically like I wanted.

@KaranSharma I believe it resets the environment variables for your profile. If you recently installed Anaconda, that file was edited by the installer with the new env variables, but have not been loaded for conda or other utilities. I might be wrong, I'm new to this whole thing.

For those experiencing issues after upgrading to [macOS v10.15](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Catalina) (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 - reinstall Anaconda -
# brew cask install anaconda
# 2) conda init
conda init zsh
# or
# conda init
```

**conda: command not found**
Try adding the below line to your .bashrc file:
```
export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH
```
Then try:
```
conda --version
```
to see the version.
And then for it to take effect
```
conda init

Execute the following command after installing and adding to the path
```

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

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.

I am using a [WSL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Subsystem_for_Linux) system.
In my case, for the *conda* command to be added to the path, and persist, I had to do the following:
### First:
```
vim ~/.bashrc
```
This will open the .bashrc file using [Vim](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vim_%28text_editor%29). You should go to the bottom of the file using the arrow keys, click `i` to toggle the insert mode and paste: `export PATH="$PATH:/home/userName/miniconda3/bin"`.
After that, save and close Vim using `:wq`.
(if you are not comfortable using Vim, you can use the `nano` command instead)
```
nano ~/.bashrc
```
### Second:
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
### Third:
Close and open the terminal! This should work for everyone.
To test if it is working, try:
```
conda --version
```

If you are using Linux:
After installing Anaconda from the *.sh* file (which you can download from <https://www.spyder-ide.org/>):
Step 1: Activate the environment in the terminal by entering the below command.
```
source ~/anaconda3/bin/activate
```
Step 2:
Type *spyder* in the terminal. You can get the Spyder IDE.
```
spyder
```

I faced this issue on my Mac after updating Conda. The solution was to run the Conda mini installer on top of the 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: *[Conda command not found after running conda update package \#1364](https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/1364)*

Make sure that you are installing the Anaconda binary that is compatible with your kernel.
I was in the same situation. It turned out I have an x64\_86 CPU and was trying to install a 64-bit [POWER8](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POWER8) 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 two different types of 64-bit installers:
- 64-bit (x86) installer and
- 64-bit (POWER8) installer.

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`

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".

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

This worked on an [M1 Mac](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_M1):
To get the user name:
```
echo $USER
```
Then substitute my\_username with the correct one.
```
source /Users/my_username/opt/anaconda3/bin/activate
```

By default, Anaconda and Miniconda will put necessary command alias to the [.bashrc file](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_\(Unix_shell\)#Legacy-compatible_Bash_startup_example) file.
All you have to do is to reload added alias inside `~/.bashrc` using this command:
```
source ~/.bashrc
```

This works. Alternatively, if you are using zsh, you need to source ~/.zshrc

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`

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`.

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.

What do you mean by *"reload user bash"*? Reload the content of file *.bashrc*? Or something to do with file `/usr/bash`? Or something else?

For me uninstalling and reinstalling miniconda did the trick. I did lose all my existing repos but at least the command works now.

I installed it with sudo, which made it available only to root user. Installing without sudo fixed it and now I can access conda as I wanted
