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 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. $PYTHONPATH is also set to ~/anaconda/lib.
Any thoughts on what is wrong with the 'conda' command? My searches do not appear to show any one else reporting this error.
When you were installing it, you missed a section. When conda asked you if it can set your .bashrc file, you probably clicked NO. It's a simple fix: fire up your interpreter and add this line:
export PATH=/home/add your username here/anaconda/bin:$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!
If anaconda was installed by the root user, a permissions issue could produce the ImportError: No module named 'conda.cli' error.
Something like this
sudo chown -R [username] [anaconda_dir]
would help in that case.
Alternatively, the conda install could be cloned to another location, such as the user's home directory:
conda create -n [my_conda_root] --clone=[current_conda_dir]
But for this to work, you will need at least the read and traverse permissions.
