title: Why is Anaconda source activate non-existent?
body: <p>I successfully created two separate Python environments in Anaconda, yet seem to be unable to activate either one of them. I have tried to read up on this topic as much as possible here on Stackoverflow, yet no solution did resolve my issue. I added information asked for by comments in this question (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/28830238/anaconda-environment-doesnt-activate">Anaconda Environment Doesnt activate</a>).</p>
  
  <p>When trying to activate an environment, the console output is <code>-bash: activate: No such file or directory</code>.</p>
  
  <p>The output of <code>which conda</code> is <code>/Users/username/anaconda3/bin/conda</code>.
  The output of <code>type source</code> is <code>source is a shell builtin</code>.
  When trying <code>which activate</code>, the shell returns nothing.</p>
  
  <p>In my <code>bin</code> folder, I also seem not to have an <code>activate</code> executable, but only one which is called <code>activate-global-python-argcomplete</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Why do I lack the standard activate file and how I could resolve this issue best?</p>
