Anaconda: disable prompt change
Question:
When using anaconda (install for python), when I switch to the virtual env with this:
source activate my_env
It changes my prompt and adds (my_env) at the start of my PS1.
I’ve tried adding export VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1 to my bashrc, but it did not help.
Any idea?
Answers:
Add:
changeps1: False
to your .condarc file.
http://conda.pydata.org/docs/config.html#change-command-prompt-changeps1
Run this on the terminal:
$ conda config --set changeps1 False
http://conda.pydata.org/docs/config.html#change-command-prompt-changeps1
I’ve had a slightly different, but related problem: how to avoid the base env to be activated by default for every terminal window. Solution:
conda config --set auto_activate_base False
Note: this only works if you have run conda init first.
If you are like me, you like the non-default environment to show up if you have activated it, but don’t want to clutter up your prompt in other cases –
(e.g. you happen to use bash for reasons having nothing to do with python)
Place the following excerpt in your ~/.bash_profile right after the section managed by conda:
# ahj - remove the default Python environment artifact "(base)" from prompt
PS1=$(echo "$PS1" | perl -pe 's/^(base)s*//' )
