python - Anaconda activate environment "The syntax of the command is incorrect" -
probably simple (i hope) activate environment_name
giving me message "the syntax of command incorrect."
i'm using windows 7, conda 3.19.0, python 2.7.11, , message both cmd.exe , anaconda command prompt.
it may relevant has never worked me before installed anaconda - admin - (and environment i'm referencing tutorial example).
even after remove environment , re-create still same thing:
c:\anaconda>conda create -n snowflakes biopython fetching package metadata: .... solving package specifications: ............ package plan installation in environment c:\anaconda\envs\snowflakes: following new packages installed: biopython: 1.66-np110py27_0 msvc_runtime: 1.0.1-vc9_0 [vc9] numpy: 1.10.1-py27_0 pip: 7.1.2-py27_0 python: 2.7.11-0 setuptools: 19.2-py27_0 wheel: 0.26.0-py27_1 proceed ([y]/n)? y linking packages ... [ complete ]|##################################################| 100% # # activate environment, use: # > activate snowflakes # c:\anaconda>activate snowflakes syntax of command incorrect. c:\anaconda>conda info -e # conda environments: # bunnies c:\anaconda\envs\bunnies snowflakes c:\anaconda\envs\snowflakes root * c:\anaconda c:\anaconda>
i have updated both anaconda , conda no avail. don't know if it's root directory installation issue or path issue or what. have perused activate script , cannot see obvious there. using full path name not either, in
c:\anaconda>activate c:\anaconda\envs\snowflakes
any appreciated.
update 1/17/2016: uninstalled anaconda. installed older version, anaconda-2.3.0-windows-x86_64.zip
zipped windows installers archive.
i activate/deactivate environments after install. updated again conda update conda
, conda update anaconda
. getting same "incorrect syntax" message before. resigned using until absolutely need more env functionality.
i spent while struggling find cause of error. problem on machine path
environmental variable.
open edit environment variables account
program on windows, , edit path
variable. remove quotation marks or potentially invalid path characters. should c:\path\to\programs;c:\path\to\more\programs;...
and if you're admin, it's possible have same thing system path
environment variable.
