Whenever I open a terminal, I have to write

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

to use any feature of anaconda

I want a persistent path.

the file .bashrc (hidden file), located in the home directory, runs codes every time a new terminal is opened.

Then add a line on it:

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Ubuntu – Python 3 default interpreter

It looks like you were setting your PATH using

export PATH=$PATH:/home/ofirarzi/anaconda3/bin

Unfortunately, this means that /usr/bin/python3 comes first before //home/ofirarzi/anaconda3/bin/python3, so your system Python 3 gets called instead of Anaconda's Python 3 when you run python3 in the terminal. To fix this, you just need to reverse the order of the components of PATH, i.e., in your ~/.profile, do

export PATH=/home/ofirarzi/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

Then do source ~/.profile and try python3 again. For the new PATH to take effect in the terminal in the future without manually sourcing ~/.profile every time, you have to log out and then log in again or reboot.

Note that the way I have exported PATH is also described by Anaconda's documentation at https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install#linux-install.

Ubuntu – clear command – terminals database is inaccessible

Path for Anaconda3 is set in .bashrc. It is interfering with clear command. Removing Anaconda path from path solved the issue. Here is the github reference for the issue https://github.com/ContinuumIO/anaconda-issues/issues/331
