title: Error when trying to use conda on vs code: conda : The term 'conda' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet
body: <p>I am trying to build a basic machine learning algorithm, and to do so I am using the anaconda interpreter for python. However, even though visual studio code appears to have recognized conda as the interpreter, and I have the anaconda3 shell working as a separate application, I cannot get conda to work on vs code. Whenever I try to check for conda, I get the following error:</p>
  <pre><code>conda : The term 'conda' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

  <p>I have tried the fixes linked here: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44515769/conda-is-not-recognized-as-internal-or-external-command">&#39;Conda&#39; is not recognized as internal or external command</a></p>
  <p>however, they did not work for me. I tried setting conda to my path yet I still got the same error. Thanks in advance!</p>
