Zsh: Conda/Pip installs command not found

Question

So I installed Anaconda and everything is working. After I installed it I decided to switch to oh-my-zsh. I am now getting:

zsh: command not found: conda

when trying to use pip or conda installs

echo $ZSH_VERSION

5.0.5

I have added to my zshenv.sh

export PATH ="/Users/Dz/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

What is it that I'm missing?

Answer 1

As of today Nov 4, 2018 all the following methods works, install the zsh with:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh/master/tools/install.sh)"

Not recommending brew installation for zsh:

brew install zsh zsh-completions 

P.S: Tried with with brew and brew install under the root and is not an wise idea to do so due the security and all time anything related will need to be started under sudo so better is to stick with curl or wget.

to make work conda in OS X with oh-my-zsh installed is to add path as following and will work.

Find the python paths so can see if you installed Anaconda2 or Anaconda3: where python or which python will result in similar output:

/usr/bin/python
/Users/"username"/anaconda3/bin/python
/usr/bin/python

Finding your Anaconda Python interpreter path

vi ~/.zshrc or gedit ~/.zshrc

For Anaconda: at field # User configuration add:

PATH="$HOME/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

For Anaconda2 at field # User configuration add:

PATH="$HOME/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

For Anaconda3 at field # User configuration add:

PATH="$HOME/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

or replace "username" with your username:

PATH="/Users/"username"/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

According to documentation Installing on macOS we add add in ~/.zshrc instead of .bashrc or .bash_profile

• Add export PATH="/<path to anaconda>/bin:$PATH" in ~/.zshrc

• Or set the PATH variable: export PATH="/<path to anaconda>/bin:$PATH"

Replace “<path to anaconda>” with the actual path to your Anaconda installation.

This methods are working on ubuntu/Centos7/MacOS as well (just close/reset the terminal once you are completing the changes) than just type conda to test.

Per @truongnm comment just source after adding the path: "I pasted the path from my bash_profile, and don't forget to source ~/.zshrc"

Answer 2

FYI for anyone having this same issue keep in mind that you need to make sure that you have the right version of anaconda in that export path:

anaconda2 or anaconda3 

Spent way too long on that minor issue.

Answer 3

You need to fix the spacing and quotes:

export PATH ="/Users/Dz/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

Instead use

export PATH="/Users/Dz/anaconda/bin":$PATH

Answer 4

1. Find the right version of your anaconda

2. Put it to ~/.zshrc via command vim ~/.zshrc

   • Anaconda 2 export PATH="/User/<your-username>/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"
   • Anaconda 3 export PATH="/User/<your-username>/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
   • Or if you install Anaconda in root directory:
   • Anaconda 2 export PATH="/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"
   • Anaconda 3 export PATH="/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

3. Restart the zsh source ~/.zshrc

Answer 5

I just ran into the same problem. As implicitly stated inside the .zshrc-file (in your user-root-folder), you need to migrate the pathes you've already inserted in your .bash_profile, bashrc or so to resolve this.

Copying all additional pathes from .bash_profile to .zshrc fixed it for me, cause zsh now knows where to look.

#add path to Anaconda-bin
export PATH="/Users/YOURUSERNAME!!/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"

 #N.B. for miniconda use
export PATH="/Users/YOURUSERNAME!!!/miniconda3/bin:$PATH"

Depending on where you installed anaconda this path might be different.

Answer 6

This is all I had to add to add get anaconda working for zsh.

echo ". /anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" >> ~/.zshrc
source ~/.zshrc
