Can I install conda with PIP?

You can install pip in the current conda environment with the command conda install pip , as discussed in Using pip in an environment. If there are instances of pip installed both inside and outside the current conda environment, the instance of pip installed inside the current conda environment is used.

How do I activate my environment conda?

To activate your Conda environment, type source activate <yourenvironmentname> . Note that conda activate will not work on Discovery with this version. To install a specific package, type conda install -n <yourenvironmentname> [package] . To deactivate the current, active Conda environment, type conda deactivate .


I was faced with the same issue in windows 10, Updating the environment variable following steps, it's working fine.

I know It is a lengthy answer for the simple environment setups, I thought it's may be useful for the new window 10 users.

1) Open Anaconda Prompt:

Although you were offered a good solution by others I think it is helpful to point out what is really happening. As per the Anaconda 4.4 changelog, https://docs.anaconda.com/anaconda/reference/release-notes/#what-s-new-in-anaconda-4-4:

On Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other software. The recommended approach is to instead use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Command Prompt (located in the Start Menu under “Anaconda”) when you wish to use Anaconda software.

(Note: recent Win 10 does not assume you have privileges to install or update. If the command fails, right-click on the Anaconda Command Prompt, choose "More", chose "Run as administrator")

This is a change from previous installations. It is suggested to use Navigator or the Anaconda Prompt although you can always add it to your PATH as well. During the install the box to add Anaconda to the PATH is now unchecked but you can select it.


I found the solution. Variable value should be C:\Users\dipanwita.neogy\Anaconda3\Scripts


When you install anaconda on windows now, it doesn't automatically add Python or Conda to your path.

While during the installation process you can check this box, you can also add python and/or python to your path manually (as you can see below the image)

enter image description here

If you don’t know where your conda and/or python is, you type the following commands into your anaconda prompt

where python
where conda

Next, you can add Python and Conda to your path by using the setx command in your command prompt (replace C:\Users\mgalarnyk\Anaconda2 with the results you got when running where python and where conda).

SETX PATH "%PATH%;C:\Users\mgalarnyk\Anaconda2\Scripts;C:\Users\mgalarnyk\Anaconda2"

Next close that command prompt and open a new one. Congrats you can now use conda and python

Just to be clear, you need to go to the controlpanel\System\Advanced system settings\Environment Variables\Path, then hit edit and add:

C:Users\user.user\Anaconda3\Scripts

to the end and restart the cmd line
