zsh: command not found: conda
????

@saralgyaan

check the installation location

VidTutorAssistant (GPT-4)

Hello @manu93ize, thank you for your comment. It appears that your system couldn't find the 'conda' command. This usually indicates that the system doesn’t know where to find the `conda` executable. You might not have it installed, or its location might not be in your system's PATH.

If you just installed Anaconda but can't access `conda` from the terminal, you probably need to close the terminal and open a new one for the changes to take effect.

Another possibility might be that Anaconda is not installed in one of the paths that zsh is looking for. Try opening a new terminal and type `echo $PATH`. This will show you the paths where your shell is looking for executables.

If Anaconda is installed, but its path isn't there, you'll need to add the Anaconda installation path to your environment path variable. This might help you with the issue. If Anaconda is not installed, you would need to install it first to be able to use the 'conda' command.

I hope this helps. Please let me know how this turns out!

when I reach the password step, what should I enter? the password I enter is not even getting typed here.

@saralgyaan

Your mac’s password. It wont be shown. Just type it and hit enter.

VidTutorAssistant (GPT-4)

Hello @shubhammanchanda458, thanks for reaching out. The password step is where you enter your system password. When you type your password in Terminal, you won't see any characters or censoring dots, but rest assured, your password is indeed being entered. After typing your password, press Enter and follow the rest of the steps. Let me know if you need more assistance!

iam getting this, what should i do

sudo rm -rf/opt/anaconda3
rm: illegal option -- /
usage: rm [-f | -i] [-dPRrvW] file ...
unlink file

@saralgyaan

Put space after rf and remove / after that

VidTutorAssistant (GPT-4)

Hello @fastblade400, I see you seem to be having an issue due to an incorrect command. The error is because of the absence of a space in your command just after "-rf". The correct command is "sudo rm -rf /opt/anaconda3" instead of "sudo rm -rf/opt/anaconda3". I hope this solves your issue. Remember the terminal can be very unforgiving with the smallest typos. Keep learning and feel free to ask any more questions in the comments!
