Get the Anaconda prompt running in the PyCharm terminal

Question

I have Miniconda3 installed at C:\Users\me\Miniconda3, and my 'Project Interpreter' within PyCharm set to my conda environment, and that is all working correctly. However it appears that conda is not set for my path variable as if I type conda into the PyCharm Terminal I get

'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Is there a way to set the PyCharm Terminal to behave like the Anaconda Prompt?

I have Windows 10, PyCharm 2018.1 EAP, and conda 4.4.10 installed.

Solution 1

You can change pycharm settings to achieve this.

In Settings > Tools > Terminal, change the Shell path as following:

cmd.exe "/K" "C:\Users\me\Miniconda3\Scripts\activate.bat" "C:\Users\me\Miniconda3"

And the C:\Users\me\Miniconda3 can be replaced by either one of your conda environment name such as base

Close the Terminal and reopen it, you will get the Anaconda prompt.

It works in my PyCharm Community Edition 2018.1.2

Solution 2

For window user, first of all check the location of your anaconda environment

you could type conda env list to show

For my case, the env I want to have my anaconda prompt is located at C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Anaconda3\ (which is the root env, the very first you get)

And then go to pycharm, go settings, go Tools, Inside Shell path enter

cmd.exe "/K" C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Anaconda3\Scripts\activate.bat C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\Anaconda3

Solution 3

The shell path may differ, you can check from the properties of shortcut of 'Anaconda Prompt': rightClick on the icon of 'Anaconda Prompt' >> properties >> shortcut >> Target

Anyone knows how to use Anaconda Powershell Prompt within PyCharm? I've simply copy&pasted the command from the Anconda Powershell shortcut found under 'target'. It is working with Windows/Run but in PyCharm I get Cannot open Local Terminal Failed to start [C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe --ExecutionPolicy ByPass --NoExit --Command (...COMMAND...)]

If the Windows Terminal integration has been installed with conda, the appropriate command using PowerShell instead of cmd looks like this: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -NoExit -Command "& 'C:\Users\USERNAME\miniconda3\shell\condabin\conda-hook.ps1' ; conda activate 'C:\Users\USERNAME\miniconda3' "
