my anaconda (4.5.4) works fine as long as I just use it via a linux terminal (bash shell). However, running conda commands in a bash script does not work at all.
The script test.sh containes these lines:
#!/bin/bash
conda --version
conda activate env
Now, running bash test.sh
results in the error
test.sh: line 2: conda: command not found
test.sh: line 3: conda: command not found
As recommended for anaconda version > 4.4 my .bashrc does not contain
export PATH="/opt/anaconda/bin:$PATH",
but
. /opt/anaconda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
Thank you.
I solved the problem thanks to @darthbith 's comment.
Since conda
is a bash function and bash functions can not be propagated to independent shells (e.g. opened by executing a bash script), one has to add the line
source /opt/anaconda/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
to the bash script before calling conda commands. Otherwise bash will not know about conda.
If @randomwalker's method doesn't work for you, which it won't any time your script is run in a more basic shell such as sh, then you have two options.
Add this to your script: eval $(conda shell.bash hook)
Call your script with: bash -i <scriptname>
so that it runs in your interactive environment.
do sudo ln -s /home/<user>/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh /etc/profile.d/conda.sh
and try again. This should activate conda for all users permenantly
