I used Conda on Windows and tried and set an environment variable using the command
conda env config vars set value=x
I used this command incorrectly resulting in a behaviour documented here:
How to clear the conda environment variables?
This broke my Conda completely and I could no longer activate or deactivate environments.
I then decided on the smart idea to just start with a fresh install of conda.
I ran the windows uninstaller and received the following error message.
On reinstalling miniconda or anaconda I get no error messages but basically I cannot use conda in powershell or cmd. I also cannot open the anaconda command terminal. when opening it just closes immediately with no error message.
Any help on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated I now understand I didn't really know what adding an environment variable did. Is it possible this variable is saved somewhere else and is stopping anaconda from working properly?
thank you
I installed miniconda on a Windows machine and whenever I type python in a PowerShell window to start up Python I get the following:
This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment has
not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this environment
please see https://conda.io/activation
I followed the link, but I honestly do not understand what I need to do...
Any tips?
In a command shell:
conda activate
And if this doesn't work yet:
conda init --all
I installed miniconda on Windows 10 and created an environment (I followed this guide: https://www.notion.so/shashankkalanithi/Setting-Up-Conda-Environment-ba83f7f019ea44b9af37588eed419eb9). However when I open the VS Code I don't see that environment python interpeter on kernel list. There is only one interpreter on the list: ~\Miniconda3\python.exe
How can I fix this?
in vscode press ctrl+shift+p and type python:Select Interpreter you should see all the environment there. If it does not appear create a .py file and try again. also you can press the reload icon on the search bar where you typed python:select interpreter.
You can try to follow methods from
vscode - Create a conda environment
Additional notes:
...To ensure the environment is set up well from a shell perspective, one
option is to use an Anaconda prompt with the activated environment to
launch VS Code using the code . command. At that point you just need
to select the interpreter using the Command Palette or by clicking on
the status bar.
Firstly you need to create an environment with python in it otherwise it won't recognize it. Create an environment like this first
conda create --name tf26 python==3.10
Use your preferred name and python version here thereafter restart VS Code. You will definitely see your env.
Note:
You can delete any unused env if want like this
conda env remove --name <env_name>
I wanted to use the new environment as a Jupyter kernel and had to install the jupyter package for it to show up in the kernel selection of VSCode. You can install it by running conda install jupyter.
I finally resolved the problem.
This thread says that you need to create the conda environment passing the python argument:
conda create -n your_env_name python=3.7
Doing this the environment appears in the Select interpreter to start Jupyter server options.
The extension automatically looks for interpreters in the following locations:
Conda environments that contain a Python interpreter. VS Code does not
show conda environments that don't contain an interpreter.
After you create a conda environment, you need to activate it and install some packages in order to get the python interpreter. And remember to reload the VSCode. If it still does not exist, you can try to choose Enter interpreter path, to point the path manually.
In your project .vscode/settings.json file, just replace the old python.pythonPath setting with the new one (or add if non-existing) python.defaultInterpreterPath and it will work. The value for the setting is the path to the venv you're using in your project.
Afterward, Ctrl+Shift+P via Python: Select Interpreter will allow you to choose a different interpreter.
I had the same problem.
After I opened Anaconda Prompt as Administrator and created the environment, I saw it in VS code
Open “Anaconda Prompt” from the Windows start button as
“Administrator.”
The reason why vscode doesn't show the environment is that it doesn't have a python interpreter in it because of inheriting or something.
The solution is also simple. Just manually install python in that environment.
conda install python
When I launch a Python terminal or use Shift+Enter to run code from my Python Files through VS Code on Windows, I get a message:
This Python interpreter is in a conda environment, but the environment
has not been activated. Libraries may fail to load. To activate this
environment please see https://conda.io/activation.
I get a Python prompt. The code runs as expected. If I exit() that prompt and run "conda activate myenv", the environment activates and I can then run python using the desired environment. However, I can't seem to figure out why it's not activating by default.
I have the MS Python module loaded. Conda is up to date and in my system path. I've installed Conda into cmd and powershell. And the expect "activate" command works if I quit python and type it in. Any ideas what I might be missing?
Please check if you have this setting in your settings.json file,
"python.pythonPath": "<anacondapath>\\envs\\<yourenv>\\python.exe",
This should automatically load the conda environment for you.
Not sure if this is a bug, but if anyone has a suspected way to fix this issue, I would be eternally grateful.
Description
After activating an environment in the Anaconda Prompt, when I deactivate I seem to lose all conda-related information. In other words, it returns me to a normal Windows command prompt. (No Python, no conda commands, etc.) This is rather annoying because it means I need to open another Anaconda Prompt and navigate back to the folder where I was working.
Steps to reproduce:
Create a python environment with Anaconda Prompt
Activate it
Deactivate it
Try conda list
I just had 30 new users install Anaconda with Python 3.6 earlier this week, all on Windows, and they all experienced this issue. I have Miniconda, they have Anaconda.
Config info
platform : win-64
conda version : 4.3.25
python version : 3.6.1.final.0
EDIT: forgot to mention that I submitted a bug report just in case this was a bug. No responses at the moment.
Turns out, my understanding of deactivate was wrong -- it's purpose is to completely deactivate conda and remove all traces from the terminal. So this behavior is what deactivate is actually meant to do, not switch you to your root environment.
See the issue response here: link.
Run in Windows prompt:
cmd "/K" C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3
You will have anaconda prompt back.
