How to use the conda init command: Initialize conda for shell interaction. Most shells need to be closed and restarted for changes to take effect. More information: <https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/commands/init.html>.

Solution

conda init — Initialize conda for shell interaction. Most shells need to be closed and restarted for changes to take effect. More information: <https://docs.conda.io/projects/conda/en/latest/commands/init.html>.

Initialize a specific shell (if none is specified, defaults to bash for UNIX and powershell for Windows):

conda init {{zsh|bash|powershell|fish|tcsh|xonsh}}

Initialize all available shells:

conda init --all

Initialize conda for all users on the system:

conda init --system

Don't initialize conda for the current user:

conda init --no-user

Add condabin/ directory to $PATH:

conda init --condabin

Undo effects of the last conda init:

conda init --reverse
