Conda activate not working?

anaconda, conda

Solution

As of conda 4.4, the command

conda activate <envname>

is the same on all platforms. The procedure to add `conda` to the `PATH` environment variable for non-Windows platforms (on Windows you should use the Anaconda Prompt), as well as the change in environment activation procedure, is detailed in the release notes for conda 4.4.0.

For conda versions older than 4.4, command is either

source activate <envname>

on Linux and macOS or

activate <envname>

on Windows. You need to remove the `conda`.

Problem

``` gonzo  ~/a/packages  conda env list # conda environments: # ppo_latest /nohome/jaan/abhishek/anaconda3/envs/ppo_latest root * /nohome/jaan/abhishek/anaconda3 gonzo  ~/a/packages  conda activate ppo_latest gonzo  ~/a/packages  which python (ppo_latest) /nohome/jaan/abhishek/anaconda3/bin/python gonzo  ~/a/packages  conda deactivate (ppo_latest) gonzo  ~/a/packages  which python /nohome/jaan/abhishek/anaconda3/bin/python ``` The environment gets activated without an error. Then we check which python it is referring to it. It is doesn't change, why?
