'Activate Command not found'

Question

I attempted the following procedures to setup a conda environment for arcgis. The environment set-up correctly and I was prompted to activate the environment by typing "activate esri101" to which I was prompted...

$ activate esri101
sh.exe": activate: command not found

I'm a 3 out of 10 on the newbie to expert scale. I've tried setting my path as specified here to no avail. I don't know where exactly to go from here.

EDIT: I retried it again today and it seemed to work

Answer 1

On a Linux/MacOSX environment, you must type (Documentation here)

$ source activate esri101

that is the Linux/MacOSX equivalent to the

activate esri101

that you would use on Windows

Answer 2

On my mac terminal, I had to use:

conda activate env_name
