'Input line is too long error' when trying to activate python 3.5 on anaconda

Question

I am attempting to install a python 3 kernel for my ipython notebook using anaconda. This is to enable me use Python 2 or 3 when needed. So I found the commands below on this stackoverflow page Using both Python 2.x and Python 3.x in IPython Notebook

conda create -n py35 python=3.5
source activate py35
conda install notebook ipykernel
ipython kernel install

The issue is after installing python 3.5 the source activate py35command gives source is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch fileerror and when I use activate py35, I get a the input line is too long Please is there a way to fix this error?

It is just activate `activate ...` on windows http://conda.pydata.org/docs/py2or3.html#install-a-different-version-of-python — Padraic Cunningham, Apr 09 '16 at 10:37

I found a solution in this post

I basically created a new system variable in my anaconda directory and added it's path variables in front of the existing ones. The "activate py35" command then worked very fine.
