Adding Anaconda to Path or not
UPDATE
Current Anaconda installations offer an "Anaconda Prompt" that has conda on the path. Go to the Windows start button (Window icon) and start typing anaconda. You should see an entry "Anaconda Prompt". Click on it. A new window opens that has conda in the search path. Use as many Anaconda prompts as needed.
Old Answer
A good way is to work with conda environments.
Add the path where the
conda.exeto thePATHtemporally:set PATH=C:\my\path\to\conda;%PATH%Create a new environment:
conda create -n py36 python=3.6Activate it:
activate py36
Now the prompt should change to py36 and all should work since all needed paths are set. You need to install all your packages you need for your project while this environment is activated. When done deactivate it with deactivate.
