If you’ve played around with miniconda (which you should), you may have come across this error in the command prompt – “the input line is too long”.
This typically happens after an installation of a python package, or the creation/deletion of a conda environment.
Here’s what’s happening:
YOU INSTALLED MINICONDA AND PUT THE PATH IN YOUR SYSTEM ENVIRONMENTALS
Don’t do that.. in fact the installer warns you not to.
Real Simple: It’s because you’ve now got multiple paths running on your system.
Answer: Uninstall miniconda and reinstall it correctly … OR ,.. go to:
Start Menu -> type Environ -> click on “edit the system environmentals” -> Click “Environmental Variables” at the bottom.
This screen will pop up:
At the top, click on “Path” and then “Edit”.. it will bring up another screen –> delete the miniconda/anaconda entries. Then click ok all the way out.
You’ll need top close and open your command prompt again but then you’re set.
From here on out, only use the “miniconda command prompt” as it will be set to your installation. Everything else will be dependency error free (from this at least).
