Anaconda not found in ZSh?

You need to set your path variable for the ZSH environment. The easy way to do this would be to set your path variable in your .zshrc file to include the location of Anaconda. To get the path in your bash terminal type which anaconda

Zsh/Bash startup files loading order (.bashrc, .zshrc etc.)

Since conda 4.4.0 (released 2017-12-20), the recommended way to add conda to your PATH has changed. Instead of the approach described in Jonathan’s answer, this should be done using the conda.sh script in the etc/profile.d/ folder of your conda installation. After that you can activate the base environment. More information on why this is the case can be found in the conda changelog.

I needed to add the following lines to my .zshrc:

.  ~/miniconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate base

This assumes that (mini)conda was installed with default parameters, i.e. into the home folder.

Following up on @m00am’s answer, as of Anaconda 4.5.11, the bash code Anaconda adds to .bashrc seems to run perfectly well also in zsh, so copying that into your .zshrc works well. In my case, the code looked like this:

# >>> conda init >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$(CONDA_REPORT_ERRORS=false '/home/my-account/anaconda3/bin/conda' shell.bash hook 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/home/my-account/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/home/my-account/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
        CONDA_CHANGEPS1=false conda activate base
    else
        export PATH="/home/my-account/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda init <<<

This worked for me on my macOS

Open the .bash_profile file using:

open ~/.bash_profile

There’s a block of code the anaconda installer added to the end of the file. Copy that.

Mine looks something like this:

# added by Anaconda3 5.3.0 installer
# >>> conda init >>>
# !! Contents within this block are managed by 'conda init' !!
__conda_setup="$(CONDA_REPORT_ERRORS=false '/anaconda3/bin/conda' shell.bash hook 2> /dev/null)"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
    eval "$__conda_setup"
else
    if [ -f "/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh" ]; then
        . "/anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh"
        CONDA_CHANGEPS1=false conda activate base
    else
        export PATH="/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
    fi
fi
unset __conda_setup
# <<< conda init <<<

Now open your .zshrc file:

open ~/.zshrc

paste the copied code at the end and save it. Then RUN the below command,

source ~/.zshrc

When on iterm2 or the terminal, you should see a (base) pop up in there

in my original profile, which is .bash_profile, it looks like this:

### added by Anaconda3 4.4.0 installer
export PATH="/Users/myname/anaconda/bin:$PATH"

and now i open the file .zshrc, add the sentence above to it, it goes all right now.

This solution worked for me on macOS Mojave

If you use version 2019.03 of Anaconda you can update your .zshrc file with

# Anaconda
. /anaconda3/etc/profile.d/conda.sh
conda activate base

after saving file don’t forget to run source ~/.zshrc.

After upgrading to Catalina

If you install a new Anaconda3 2019.07 you can use solution below.

open ~/.bash_profile

Copy the line starts with # added by Anaconda3 2019.07 installer and ends with # <<< conda init <<< and paste into .zshrc. Then run source ~/.zshrc.

I had a similar issue after I installed anaconda3 in ubuntu.

This is how I solved it:

1) I changed to bash and anaconda can work

2) I changed to zsh, and anaconda works. I don’t know why, but I think you can try.

Altough I cannot test it on a Mac, (I have a Linux Zsh installed) this should work for you as well: Just execute

/(your conda installation path)/bin/conda init zsh

and restart your zsh shell. The init command will change your ~/.zshrc file accordingly, setting your PATH correctly and slightly change the PS1 (which is was most answers here do manually…).

In .bashrc

zsh

In .zshrc

conda activate base

all exports should be resolved

only if you do not use chsh

From their docs (This worked for me): If you are on macOS Catalina, the new default shell is zsh. You will instead need to run source <path to conda>/bin/activate followed by conda init zsh.

For my specific installation (Done by double clicking the installer), this ended up being source /opt/anaconda3/bin/activate

If you stumbled here after that you changed your terminal from bash to zsh because you upgraded macOS from Sierra to Catalina, a slight change from Sebastian Thees’s answer will make the job.

First, switch back to bash with

chsh -s /bin/bash

where your old conda environments are all nicely active. Then, activate conda on zsh with

conda init zsh

and finally switch back to zsh with

chsh -s /bin/zsh

No fuss in tracking your conda installation folder this way, which is a plus for a memory-less person like myself.

Directly from the
Anaconda Installation Documentation:

If you are on macOS Catalina, the new default shell is zsh. You will instead need to run:

source <path to conda>/bin/activate

followed by:

conda init zsh

Unfortunately for some reason, this is only mentioned in the command line install section. If you had installed from GUI you still need to do this.
