PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix

conda update conda >> successful

conda update anaconda >> gives me error saying package is not installed in prefix.

I have single installation of Python distribution on my system. How do I solve this issue?

Usually this error, "PackageNotInstalledError: Package is not installed in prefix." is because your custom environment doesn't have the conda infrastructure. Instead, it is in your base only. To update the base environment:

conda update --name base conda 

To see what version you have installed:

conda list --name base conda 

example output of list;

# packages in environment at /Users/me/miniconda2: # # Name                    Version                   Build  Channel conda                     4.6.14                   py27_0   conda-env                 2.6.0                h36134e3_0
