title: How to activate an Anaconda environment
body: <p>I'm on Windows 8, using Anaconda 1.7.5 64bit.</p>
  
  <p>I created a new Anaconda environment with</p>
  
  <p><code>conda create -p ./test python=2.7 pip</code></p>
  
  <p>from <code>C:\Pr\TEMP\venv\</code>.</p>
  
  <p>This worked well (there is a folder with a new python distribution). conda tells me to type </p>
  
  <p><code>activate C:\PR\TEMP\venv\test</code> </p>
  
  <p>to activate the environment, however this returns:</p>
  
  <p><code>No environment named "C:\PR\temp\venv\test" exists in C:\PR\Anaconda\envs</code></p>
  
  <p>How can I activate the environment? What am I doing wrong?</p>
