conda command not found even though path is exported

Question

I installed anaconda3 into my home directory. This is what I am seeing within the terminal:

and my .bash_profile looks like this:

export PATH="/Users/spotter/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

So I don't understand why conda is not being recognized. When I navigate to anaconda3/bin there is a file called conda in there, but even when I try to call it within that pathway it is still not found.

Answer 1

Spotter, your path to conda is incorrect.

I'm on High Sierra MAC OS and just installed Anaconda3 via HomeBrew command. I had issue with running :

 conda

It'd also give me:

-bash: conda: command not found

I tried running:

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

but it needs ENTIRE path. so here are the correct steps:

$ nano ~/.bash_profile

Now export the ENTIRE path, in my case it was:

export PATH=/usr/local/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Exit out and run:

$ source ~/.bash_profile

Then try:

$ conda

it'll output:

 $ conda --version
    conda 4.4.10
