Conda activate not working?

As of conda 4.4, the command

conda activate <envname>

is the same on all platforms. The procedure to add conda to the PATH environment variable for non-Windows platforms (on Windows you should use the Anaconda Prompt), as well as the change in environment activation procedure, is detailed in the release notes for conda 4.4.0.


For conda versions older than 4.4, command is either

source activate <envname>

on Linux and macOS or

activate <envname>

on Windows. You need to remove the conda.
