After Anaconda installation, conda command fails with "ImportError: no module named conda.cli"
Question: I installed 64 bit Linux version of Anaconda recently (1.8.0-Linux-x86_64).
The installation seemed to work fine:

    
    
    $ python 
    Python 2.7.5 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, Nov  4 2013, 15:30:26)
    [GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-54)] on linux2
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    >>> import numpy
    >>>
    ##No issues here 
    

However if I try any of the conda commands, I get an error:

    
    
    $ conda info
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "~/anaconda/bin/conda", line 3, in <module>
        from conda.cli import main
    ImportError: No module named conda.cli
    

Installation is under my user directory (~/anaconda). I have verified that
$PATH contains ~/anaconda/bin. $PYTHONPATH is also set to ~/anaconda/lib.

Any thoughts on what is wrong with the 'conda' command? My searches do not
appear to show any one else reporting this error.


Answer: When you were installing it, you missed a section. When conda asked you if it
can set your .bashrc file, you probably clicked NO. It's a simple fix: fire up
your interpreter and add this line:

`export PATH=/home/add your username here/anaconda/bin:$PATH`

Now type `python` into the interpreter and you will see Anaconda 1.8.0 or
whatever version you have. You will have to do this each time you start a new
interpreter.

Enjoy!
