I have been using conda for a few months. The following is the version that I'm using:
conda -V
conda 4.5.4
Previously, to activate or to deactivate the conda environment, I think I have used the following command:
source activate [env_name]
source deactivate
However, recently, the above commands don't work on my machine for unknown reason. The following is the result:
bash: activate: No such file or directory
More strangely, the following commands work:
conda activate [env_name]
conda deactivate
Could you suggest what might have happened and how to fix this problem?

/home/user/anaconda3/bin
), you found your issue!To fix this problem, you can simply enter the following command in the terminal where user is your username.
