I've been running Anaconda successfully for a few months on my PC (Win 10) using Git Bash and Anaconda3. However, today I tried to update to the latest version of Anaconda (I don't remember which version but it was xxxx.6 or 8 to xxxx.11). The installation failed (stupid me didn't save the error messages) and after that, I keep started getting this error when I type 'conda xxxxx
'.
CommandNotFoundError: No command 'conda conda'.
However, I am still able to use most conda commands if I called the conda.exe file by giving the full path, with one very unfortunate exception, activating environments.
I've also noticed some other weird behavior. If I reboot my PC, conda works fine, even without calling the full path. I can create a new environment, but as soon as I call source activate or activate or conda activate, it breaks and from then on, any reference to 'conda' gives me CommandNotFoundError: No command 'conda conda'.
There is also some weird behavior in anaconda prompt. Everything seems to work fine. I can create and activate environments with no problem but when I first start the prompt, it says The system cannot find the path specified.
I tried - making sure my PATH was correct - uninstalling and reinstalling for all users, then for just my user - using the 'conda init bash' --> I think this just broke it further. - deleting the registry keys associated with Python - they look good now
I'm at a loss for what to do. I really want to be able to use conda within my git bash again. Any advice is appreciated.
conda install -n base conda==4.6.7
-- I had to run this in a fresh instance of Git Bash if I had already activated the error in my current shell. I also read that you can do this in Windows shell too (but I didn't try it).
