Add conda to path in fish

Question

~> conda install pandas
fish: Unknown command 'conda'

I understand that I need to add conda to PATH, but no matter what combinations of commands I tried, I could get it to work. I still get the above error.

Answer 1

Where is conda installed? If it's in ~/anaconda/bin, then you want to run this:

Try set -U fish_user_paths ~/anaconda/bin $fish_user_paths

Modifying PATH is discussed in the fish tutorial

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

1. Install Anaconda

2. Run conda init fish

3. In your ~/.config/fish/config.fish you should see some lines added by Anaconda:

    #>>> conda initialize >>>
    # !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
    eval your/path/to/anaconda3/bin/conda "shell.fish" "hook" $argv | source
    # <<< conda initialize <<<
   

4. Restart the terminal. You should see now Anaconda activating the (base) environment. Check running echo $CONDA_PREFIX the loaded environment is pointing in the right place.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you still have problems

Answer 3

you can do it in one Line and don't bother yourself (MacOS and Linux)

/(your conda installation path)/bin/conda init fish

your condo installation usually in '/Users/- your UserName -/anaconda3'

if someone want to know about install fish, best way is Homebrew. after brew install fish you mush add fish to supportable shells in /etc/shells. and then with chsh change default shell to fish. if it's not clear ask in comment!
