Please switch to a POSIX-compatible she STScI will not maintain a separate codebase of Anaconda's backend ``conda`` in order to implement CSH support. Feel free to create an issue with the `developers <http://github.com/conda/conda/issues>`_. +I installed AstroConda into my Anaconda 'root' environment. What now? +===================================================================== + +Please reinstall Anaconda from scratch. AstroConda uses ``source activate`` and ``source deactivate`` calls to control your shell +environment. The Anaconda 'root' environment **does not** use this feature, and thus, the packages you have installed there will not work properly. +To clarify, it is impossible to execute ``source activate root``. Installing AstroConda packages directly into the 'root' may cause +Anaconda itself to be come unstable. In addition to this, removing packages from this environment is tedious and will likely break +your Anaconda installation if you are not careful. *Reinstalling from scratch is the safest option.* + How does AstroConda differ from Ureka? ====================================== |
