Thank you for this video. I had trouble getting gitbash to recognize the conda command, but I was able to fix it by creating and editing .bashrc in the home directory.

This is very detailed, followed to the end and it works.
Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Susan. It is really helpful.

thanks a lot for the video but is there another way of doing all of that without using a command line(setting up envs, coding in vs and running the code), i am a beginner and i have found it slightly difficult?

Hello Susan, great tutorial! I am unable to successfully run a conda env in Git Bash. Can you assist?

That is a very informative video. How would I use a csv file from my computer to run in the VSC?

Hello. I have followed the video installs and sadly, I fall at the first hurdle using command line. The error message I get is: bash: conda: command not found. Can you shed any light on what I might have done wrong? Thank you!

Thank you very much, excellent video. However, I wasn't able to run the "conda init bash" command. It displays:bash: conda: command not found
