Windows 10 conda is not recognized as an internal or external command

Question

Tried to

conda install -c conda-forge requests-futures=0.9.7

but failed with

conda is not recognized as an internal or external command,

C:\Users\user_name\Anaconda3\Scripts has been set for Path in environment variables under both user and System variables.

I installed Python 3.5 as well and it is on Path, I am using Win10 X64.

How to fix the issue?

Answer 1

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

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

Next, you can add Python and Conda to your path by using the setx command in your command prompt.

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