I have also stopped and restarted my terminal, but I am getting an error when trying to run `conda install -n treehouse numpy`: `command not found: conda` I have done some searching around the web, but I cannot seem to find a solution that remedies this. I'm attempting to run the command on a MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6. How can I remedy this? Thank you for this workshop\!

I faced the same problem, my .bash\_profile had the paths all set by Anaconda but every time I tried `conda` cpmmands it gave me the error **zsh: command not found: conda** . Here is how I solved it ``` cd # this command will take you to the home dir ``` ``` ls -a # this command list all files (hidden ones inlcuded) check if there is a .bash_profile file. # If it does not exist then `touch .bash_profile` in same location ``` ``` open -e .bash_profile # or `nano ~/.bash_profile` if using nano # or `vim ~/.bash_profile` if using vim # this command opens the file with the text editor. If the path to Anaconda exists, simply do source ~/.bash_profile ``` So every other time you stumble on the **zsh: command not found: conda** error just do the command ``` source ~/.bash_profile ```  ###### ursaminor 11,271 Points ursaminor ###### ursaminor 11,271 Points December 2, 2018 9:15pm I'm guessing that conda is not in your path. Perhaps you don't have a `.bash_profile` so it didn't get added. What happens when you type this into your terminal? ``` open ~/.bash_profile ``` If you have it, it should open in TextEdit. If it says you don't have it, create it and open it: ``` touch ~/.bash_profile; open ~/.bash_profile ``` Then add this and save: ``` PATH=$PATH:$HOME/anaconda/bin ``` Quit and restart terminal. Check that it worked: ``` conda --version ``` p.s. You can also use `nano` instead of `open` and it will open it in the terminal. I prefer this because TextEdit can add formatting that screws with your code. But TextEdit may be easier to use for a beginner and you can change settings so it doesn't apply formatting. <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30461201/how-do-i-edit-path-bash-profile-on-osx> <https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18675907/how-to-run-conda> [ .a{fill-rule:evenodd;} Juliette Tworsey **Front End Web Development** Techdegree Graduate 32,625 Points](https://teamtreehouse.com/profiles/juliettetworsey) [Juliette Tworsey .a{fill-rule:evenodd;} Juliette Tworsey **Front End Web Development** Techdegree Graduate 32,625 Points](https://teamtreehouse.com/profiles/juliettetworsey) December 2, 2018 11:00pm Hi Ursaminor, Thanks so much for responding\! When I run `cat ~/.bash_profile` I can see that the file is there. This is the \$PATH that has been created at the end of the file/script: ``` added by Miniconda3 installer export PATH="/Users/my-fullname/miniconda3/bin:$PATH" ``` Thanks again\! I might try pulling Anaconda as a Docker image instead to see what happens, but first, I'm going to shut down my computer entirely and re-open my terminal again (as simply closing it doesn't seem to be doing the trick).
