'Conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command

321    Asked by AashnaSaito in Python , Asked on Apr 5, 2021

 I installed Anaconda3 4.4.0 (32 bit) on my Windows 7 Professional machine and imported NumPy and Pandas on Jupyter notebook so I assume Python was installed correctly. But when I type conda list and conda --version in the command prompt, it says conda is not recognized as an internal or external command.

I have set environment variable for Anaconda3; Variable Name: Path, Variable Value: C:Usersdipanwita.neogyAnaconda3

How do I make it work?

Answered by Cameron Oliver

In the updated version of Anaconda, on Windows, the PATH environment variable is no longer changed by default, as this can cause trouble with other softwares. However, the recommended approach is to instead use Anaconda Navigator or the Anaconda Command Prompt when you wish to use Anaconda software.

Follow these steps to add a PATH environment variable for conda not recognized:

Open Anaconda Prompt

Check Conda Installed Location.

Open Advanced System Settings

Click on Environment Variables

Edit Path

Add New Path

Open Command Prompt and Check Versions

After 7th step type conda install anaconda-navigator in cmd then press y.

Hope this answer helps!
