### how to fix anaconda commands not working in command prompt

if you are encountering issues with anaconda commands not working in the command prompt, it could be due to a misconfiguration in your system's environment variables. follow these steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:

1. **check anaconda installation directory**:
- make sure that anaconda is correctly installed on your system and note down the installation directory (e.g., `c:\anaconda`).

2. **verify anaconda environment variables**:
- open a command prompt and type `conda list`. if you receive an error such as "'conda' is not recognized as an internal or external command," it indicates that anaconda is not in the system's path.

3. **update system path variable**:
- to fix this issue, you need to add the anaconda installation directory to the system's path variable.
- right-click on "this pc" or "my computer" and select "properties."
- click on "advanced system settings."
- in the system properties window, click on the "environment variables" button.
- in the "system variables" section, select the "path" variable and click "edit."
- add a new entry with the path to the anaconda installation directory (e.g., `c:\anaconda`) and click "ok" to save the changes.

4. **restart command prompt**:
- after updating the path variable, close and reopen the command prompt to ensure the changes take effect.

5. **test anaconda commands**:
- type `conda list` again in the command prompt to check if the anaconda commands are now recognized and working properly.
