Difficulty installing and using Miniconda / Python on the DCC

I followed all the Miniconda install instructions, but why are my Python and Conda commands not recognized?

Issue 1.) Your Conda installation is not "active".

You will know your environment is activated because it will show up on your command line:

(base) kk338@dcc-login-03  ~ $
If your command line has not been updated, check that you are running a bash shell at: https://idms-web-selfservice.oit.duke.edu/.

Click Advanced IT Options/ Current UNIX Shell/ Edit and select /bin/bash. After doing that, try ssh’ing into the DCC again and see if things are working.
