title: Change Anaconda Interpreter
body: <p>My system has a set-up python environment (2.7) to work with certain programs, and I also want to install Miniconda3 for Python 3.6. </p>
  
  <p>When I call <code>python</code> in terminal, it will start the system python from <code>/usr/bin/python</code>. To achieve this, I removed the <code>python</code> symbolic link in <code>~/miniconda/bin/</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Now, when I execute <code>conda</code> in terminal, it gives me the following error,</p>
  
  <pre><code>-bash: /home/me/miniconda/bin/conda: /home/me/miniconda/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I understand that this is because I remove the anaconda python symbolic link. But is there a way to hack anaconda to use <code>~/miniconda/bin/python3</code> as its python interpreter?</p>
