title: How to fix/properly configure conda 4.7 shell to use 'conda active' on Ubuntu 18.04?
body: <p>I run Ubuntu 18.04.</p>
  
  <p>I downloaded and ran the Pyhon 3.7 64Bit(x86) version of <a href="https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Anaconda 2019.10 install .sh</a> following this <a href="https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-the-anaconda-python-distribution-on-ubuntu-18-04" rel="nofollow noreferrer">tutorial</a>.</p>
  
  <p>In my fresh Anaconda installation the following run flawless</p>
  
  <pre><code>conda info
  conda list
  conda init
  conda create
  conda env list
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My Problem:
  <code>conda activate</code> fails with</p>
  
  <pre><code>CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
  To initialize your shell, run
  
      $ conda init &lt;SHELL_NAME&gt;
  
  Currently supported shells are:
    - bash
    - fish
    - tcsh
    - xonsh
    - zsh
    - powershell
  
  See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.
  
  IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm confused by this message. The thing is that I have already initialized my shell in the installation process.</p>
  
  <p>Therefore <code>conda init bash</code> returns <code>No action taken.</code></p>
  
  <p>Any ideas will be appreciated! </p>
