Cannot activate after installing on mac M3

[anpeter1]

Comment:

I tried to install miniforge on my mac M3. When installing I chose not to have conda modify my shell by default, thinking I could call miniforge as needed. I think I've misunderstood the process. I am relatively new to conda, and very new to mac/linux. I'm just trying to either activate micromamba, or cleanly uninstall.

I've tried the following but nothing works, and I cannot uninstall because conda is not found.

micromamba activate /Users/ashley/miniforge3           
zsh: command not found: micromamba

I can't figure out what the base shell is supposed to be named, so cannot use the following command.

eval "$(/Users/ashley/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.YOUR_SHELL_NAME hook)"
CondaError: YOUR_SHELL_NAME is not a supported shell.

The following was my installation.

Do you accept the license terms? [yes|no]
>>> yes                                

Miniforge3 will now be installed into this location:
/Users/ashley/miniforge3

  - Press ENTER to confirm the location
  - Press CTRL-C to abort the installation
  - Or specify a different location below

[/Users/ashley/miniforge3] >>> 
PREFIX=/Users/ashley/miniforge3

To activate this environment, use:

    micromamba activate /Users/ashley/miniforge3

Or to execute a single command in this environment, use:

    micromamba run -p /Users/ashley/miniforge3 mycommand

installation finished.
Do you wish to update your shell profile to automatically initialize conda?
This will activate conda on startup and change the command prompt when activated.
If you'd prefer that conda's base environment not be activated on startup,
   run the following command when conda is activated:

conda config --set auto_activate_base false

You can undo this by running `conda init --reverse $SHELL`? [yes|no]
[no] >>> no

You have chosen to not have conda modify your shell scripts at all.
To activate conda's base environment in your current shell session:

eval "$(/Users/ashley/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.YOUR_SHELL_NAME hook)" 

To install conda's shell functions for easier access, first activate, then:

conda init

Thank you for installing Miniforge3!

[hmaarrfk]

Use conda activate.

Micromamba appearing is a bug sorry

[burantiar]

I have the same problem. conda activate returns "zsh: command not found: conda"

[anpeter1]

Use conda activate.

Micromamba appearing is a bug sorry
I have the same problem as @burantiar. Conda is not found.

conda activate /Users/ashley/miniforge3
zsh: command not found: conda

[hmaarrfk]

Have you tried the following instructions from the installation log:

You have chosen to not have conda modify your shell scripts at all.
To activate conda's base environment in your current shell session:

eval "$(/Users/ashley/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.YOUR_SHELL_NAME hook)" 

To install conda's shell functions for easier access, first activate, then:

conda init

Thank you for installing Miniforge3!

@burantiar if the above doesn't help you, please open an other issue. installation troubleshooting can provide the same symptoms but not be due to the same cause.

Yes, I get the following error when I run the above 'eval' line:

CondaError: YOUR_SHELL_NAME is not a supported shell.

[hmaarrfk]

what is your shell?

[anpeter1]

what is your shell?

That's what I don't know.

Apologies, I am new to Mac, and am not sure where to find the shell name.

[anpeter1]

@burantiar did you have any luck?

[maxshcherbina]

@anpeter1

Run echo $0

This should give you your shell name. Most likely bash

command would be:

eval "$(/Users/ashley/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.bash hook)"

[michaelaye]

@anpeter1 your shell is zsh, one can see it from above error messages and is as expected on a modern Mac.
So try this:

eval "$(/Users/ashley/miniforge3/bin/conda shell.zsh hook)"
