Hi Abhishek,

This command activated an Anaconda environment. It will only work if the following are true:

You have Anaconda installed on your computer.
You have an Anaconda environment by the name "quantrapy".

I suggest you follow this guide on Setting Up Python On Your System. This blog includes everything from installing Anaconda, setting up an Anaconda environment and also how to use this command "conda activate quantrapy".

I already have anaconda installed, can I use the same? or is it recommended to download it from above link? Does the above version automaticall installs required packages?

Hi Abhishek,

If you already have Anaconda installed you don't need to reinstall it. You just need to make an environment and activate it. You can follow this link on how to set a python environment.
