anaconda prompt doesn't work after executing conda install pandas-datareader #7990

Hi, I just started learning python for a few weeks and was following some free online course. I followed the instruction to execute "conda install pandas-datareader" and then restarted anaconda prompt but it shows the file location "is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file." It happened yesterday also right after i installed conda so i reinstalled anaconda and it was working fine. But now it happened again.

If anyone encounter similar issue? Please advise the solution. Many thanks. by the way, I am using windows 10 & Anaconda3-5.0.1-Windows-x86_64

Why have you installed anaconda into a path with spaces? The installer strongly recommends against that.

That's not to say we should not try to figure this out, but you can workaround this I expect by not using such a path.

I was not able to use jupyter notebook without out checking the path column while installing. I found some solutions online to solve that problem and it worked for me.

Eunice1992 I'm having same issue. Can you share what you did to resolve it?

Hi aand2115,

I couldn't find a good solution so I reinstalled my windows and Anaconda and it's working fine now. The problem occurred after I run Anaconda as administrator ( I am not sure if it's the same in your case). Also, I checked "add path" when I first installed Anaconda. But I checked the environment variables, I didn't see the path of Anaconda. After reinstalled windows and Anaconda, the first time it shows (C:\Users\Your User Name\Anaconda3) C:\Users\Your user Name> but it has returned to ( base) C:\Users\Your user Name> since the second time. However, it is working properly as before. I have no problem install any packages. And the PATH in the environment variables is correct. Maybe you can check the environment variables setting see if it has C:\Users\Your User Name\Anaconda3 and C:\Users\Your User Name\Anaconda3\Scripts in the path. Hope that helps.

Thanks Eunice1992 for explanation. You are right, although mine has returned to [( base) C:\Users\Your user Name] since second time, it is working properly.
