Issue
I have installed anaconda on a linux red hat system by running the following command (on a airgapped remote system where I don't have sudo privileges or internet access).
$bash Anaconda3-5.1.0.Linux-x86_64.sh
This has installed anaconda in the directory /home/myuser/anaconda3/
The .bashrc file reads:
#added by Anaconda3 installer
. /opt/projectname/bin/setenv.sh
export PATH="/home/myuser/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
When I run
$conda or $jupyter notebook, I get command not found.
$python launches an old version of python which is not linked to anaconda.
If I run:
$bash jupyter notebook
from
/home/myuser/anaconda3/bin/
I get:
jupyter: line 4: import: command not found
jupyter: line 5: import: command not found
etc...
How can I get the system to run the correct version of python and successfully launch jupyter notebook?
EDIT: is the problem here that anaconda was installed in /home/myuser rather than /usr/x or /opt/x?
Solution
Try this on terminal
source /home/myuser/anaconda3/bin/activate
This will activate your anaconda python installation. (base) should appear in your terminal.
Now jupyter notebook should work.
Note : I did not append anaconda3/bin to the PATH variable as I wanted to keep my original python installation as default. I activate anaconda3 using the above command everytime I needed it.
