Cannot activate Conda environment
I installed miniconda and I created an environment:
conda create --prefix /path/to/a/directory/Python36 python=3.6
Then I tried to active it:
conda activate /path/to/a/directory/Python36
But I got this error message:
CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run
$ conda init <SHELL_NAME>
But when I run condo init --all, I nothing changes, everything is already initialized.
...
No action taken.
What am I missing?
Answer
Usually you activate an environment by name:
> activate myenv
Mac/Linux users have > source activate. Newer conda versions may use > conda activate.
In your case, what is the name of your environment? You can list existing environments:
> conda env list
If you find an env other than root or base, activate it as mentioned above.
In the future, consider creating environments with a name to easily access later:
> conda create -n myenv ... python=3.6
> activate myenv
Note: ... indicates arbitrary optional flags.
