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?
