Question

I installed the latest version of Anaconda  Now I want to install OpenCV within it  When I type   conda install -c https   conda binstar org anaconda opencv   I get this message error   conda is not recognized as internal command       sorry  I try to translate from French because my OS is in French    The problem is that conda comes with Anaconda  so I wonder why lauching Anaconda and type the above command does not work

I had a similar problem and I did something like the below mentioned steps with my Path environment variable to fix the problem

Located where my Anaconda3 was installed. I run Windows 7. Mine is located at C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3.

Open Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings, under Advanced tab click on Environment Variables.

Under System Variables, located "Path" add the following: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts;C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\;

Save and open new terminal. type in "conda". It worked for me.

Hope these steps help

Got same issue and it turns out that besides setting PATH variable  I also should not close some cmd window poped up during installation  Re-installation would work

It s not recommended to add conda exe path directly into the System Environment Variables at stated by anaconda installer    For Windows Users  Open Conda Prompt Shortcut and change the Target into the Correct Address

I had a similar problem  I searched conda exe and I found it on Scripts folder  So  In Anaconda3 you need to add two variables to PATH  The first is Anaconda folder path and the second is Anaconda folder path Scripts

Try setting the file path using  for anaconda3      export PATH   anaconda3 bin  PATH   Then check whether it worked with     conda --version   This worked for me when  conda  was returning  command not found

For Windows  Go to Control Panel System and Security System Advanced System Settings then look for Environment Variables   Your user variables should contain Path Path to Anaconda3 Scripts   You need to figure where your Anaconda3 folder is  i e  the path to this folder    Mine was in C  Users   For Linux  You need to add conda to PATH  To do so  type   export PATH  path to anaconda3 bin  PATH    Same thing  you need to figure the path to anaconda3 folder  Usually  the path is stored in  HOME   If you don t want to do this everytime you start a session  you can also add conda to PATH in your  bashrc file    echo  export PATH  path to anaconda3 bin  PATH   gt  gt     bashrc

In Windows 10  I went to the folder where Anaconda is stored  In my case it is in  Anaconda3 folder as a shortcut to open a command prompt window  called  Anaconda Prompt   Open that and execute the command there

If this problem persists  you may want to check all path values in the PATH variable  under Control Panel System and Security System Advanced System Settings   It might be that some other path is invalid or contains an illegal character    Today  I had the same problem and found a double quote in a different path value in the PATH variable  All paths after that  including a fresly installed conda  were not usable  Removing the double quote solved the problem

I suspect you forget to export PATH  anaconda bin must be added in your  PATH   Linux  OSX common problem   On Windows make sure you run install and commands as administrator

User · Answer

You probably need to update your PATH variable to include where you have installed Anaconda   See https   github com ContinuumIO anaconda-issues issues 41 for a similar issue

As other users said  the best way for Windows users is to set the global environment variable   I install the Miniconda3 for MXNet   Before I do something  only Anaconda Prompt works for conda   After setting the global environment variable  The CMD and Git Bash work  But in some IDEs like RStudio  the nested Git Bash doesn t work   After restarting my computer  the Git Bash in the RStudio works for conda   I hope these tests helps for you

When you install anaconda on windows now  it doesn t automatically add Python or Conda to your path so you have to add it yourself    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   Source  https   medium com  GalarnykMichael install-python-on-windows-anaconda-c63c7c3d1444
