how to activate Conda in Cmder

Question

I use Cmder as my command line and I've just installed Anaconda and I want to work with Conda in a Cmder session instead of opening the anaconda prompt. It doesn't understand the conda command, Of course and when I navigate to the path I installed Anaconda in and try to run _conda.exe acrivate base gives me this:

CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.

Currently supported shells are:

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.     

What should I do?

Answer 1

You should be fine just running conda init cmd.exe.

After that, restart cmder and you should be able to access conda in the default cmder shell.
