Why Anaconda does not recognize conda command?

Question

I installed the latest version of Anaconda. Now I want to install OpenCV within it. When I type:

conda install -c https://conda.binstar.org/anaconda opencv
<         


        

Answer 1

When you install anaconda on windows now, it doesn't automatically add Python or Conda to your path so you have to add it yourself.

If you don’t know where your conda and/or python is, you type the following commands into your anaconda prompt

Next, you can add Python and Conda to your path by using the setx command in your command prompt.

Next close that command prompt and open a new one. Congrats you can now use conda and python
