Conda Not Found!

Conda Not Found!

Conda is open-source and quite popular among the Python/R package manager.

Sometimes we got an issue with Conda when we want to activate the Conda environment.

Here is an example of error :

$ CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.

And the solution :

$ source ~/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh

$ conda activate yourenv

Source script will reads and executes commands from filename in the current shell environment

From Bash man page (info source) :

. filename [arguments] source filename [arguments] Read and execute commands from filename in the current shell environment and return the exit status of the last command exe‐ cuted from filename. If filename does not contain a slash, file names in PATH are used to find the directory containing file‐ name. The file searched for in PATH need not be executable. When bash is not in posix mode, the current directory is searched if no file is found in PATH. If the sourcepath option to the shopt builtin command is turned off, the PATH is not searched. If any arguments are supplied, they become the posi‐ tional parameters when filename is executed. Otherwise the positional parameters are unchanged. The return status is the status of the last command exited within the script (0 if no commands are executed), and false if filename is not found or cannot be read.
