If you have installed Visual studio 2017 (profressional)

The install location:

C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts

If you do not want the hassle of putting this in your path environment variable on windows and restarting you can run it by simply:

C:\>"C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\conda.exe" update qt pyqt

Things have been changed after conda 4 6   Programs  Anaconda Prompt  and  Anaconda Powershell  expose the command conda for you automatically  Find them in your startup menu   If you don t wanna use the prompts above and try to make conda available in a normal cmd exe and a Powershell  Read the following content     Expose conda in Every Shell  The purpose of the following content is to make command conda available both in cmd exe and Powershell on Windows   If you have already checked  Add Anaconda to my PATH environment variable  during Anaconda installation  skip step 1      If Anaconda is installed for the current use only  add  USERPROFILE  Anaconda3 condabin  I mean condabin  not Scripts  into the environment variable PATH  the user one   If Anaconda is installed for all users on your machine  add C  ProgramData Anaconda3 condabin into PATH   How do I set system environment variables on Windows  Open a new Powershell  run the following command once to initialize conda   conda init    These steps make sure the conda command is exposed into your cmd exe and Powershell     Extended Reading  conda init from Conda 4 6  Caveat  Add the new  path to anaconda3 condabin but not  path to anaconda3 Scripts into your PATH  This is a big change introduced in conda 4 6   Activation script initialization fron conda 4 6 release log     Conda 4 6 adds extensive initialization support so that more shells than ever before can use the new conda activate command  For more information  read the output from conda init    help We   re especially excited about this new way of working  because removing the need to modify PATH makes Conda much less disruptive to other software on your system    In the old days   path to anaconda3 Scripts is the one to be put into your PATH  It exposes command conda and the default Python from  base  environment at the same time   After conda 4 6  conda related commands are separated into condabin  This makes it possible to expose ONLY command conda without activating the Python from  base  environment   References   Conda 4 6 Release How do I prevent Conda from activating the base environment

In Windows  you will have to set the path to the location where you installed Anaconda3 to   For me  I installed anaconda3 into C  Anaconda3  Therefore you need to add C  Anaconda3 as well as C  Anaconda3 Scripts  to your path variable  e g  set PATH  PATH  C  Anaconda3 C  Anaconda3 Scripts    You can do this via powershell  see above  https   msdn microsoft com en-us library windows desktop bb776899 v vs 85  aspx    or hit the windows key   enter environment   choose from settings   edit environment variables for your account   select Path variable   Edit   New   To test it  open a new dos shell  and you should be able to use conda commands now  E g   try conda --version

I had also faced the same problem just an hour back  I was trying to install QuTip Quantum Toolbox in Python Unfortunately  I didn t stumble onto this page in time  Say you have downloaded Anaconda installer and run it until the end  Naively  I opened the command prompt in windows 10 and proceded to type the following commands as given in the qutip installation docs   conda create -n qutip-env conda config --append channels conda-forge conda install qutip  But as soon as I typed the first line I got the following response  conda is not recognized as an internal or external command  operable program or batch file  error messsage I went ahead and tried some other things as seen in this figures error message Finally after going through a number conda websites  I understood how one fixes this problem  Type Anaconda prompt in the search bar at the bottom like this  same place where you hail Cortana  Anaconda prompt Once you are here all the conda commands will work as usual
