Anaconda Python causing slow terminal startup/prompt
I had the same problem and I solved it by recovering my old .bashrc file then I can load the bash configuration file of Anaconda whenever I need it.
To achieve this , follow these steps
- Rename your current .bashrc file to something like conda.bashrc by executing these commands in your terminal
cd ~mv .bashrc conda.bashrcmv .bashrc-anaconda3.bak .bashrc
- Now, you have to define a custom command in your .bashrc file so it can load Anaconda only when you need it, to do so first you need to open your .bahsrc file in a text editor
gedit .bahsrc
- Add the following lines to end of your .bashrc so it can load the other conda.bashrc file which contain anaconda package configurations
alias anaconda='source conda.bashrc'
- save .bahsrc with the above mentioned edits and type in your terminal window
source .bashrc
- now you can load anaconda by simply typing anaconda in your terminal window
anaconda
