Something must have gone wrong during the installation, I suppose. The bad interpreter means that a script is looking for an interpreter that doesn't exist - as you rightfully pointed out.
The problem is likely to be in the shebang #! statement of your conda script.
From Wikipedia: Under Unix-like operating systems, when a script with a shebang is run as a program, the program loader parses the rest of the script's initial line as an interpreter directive; the specified interpreter program is run instead, passing to it as an argument the path that was initially used when attempting to run the script.
If you run
cat ~/anaconda3/bin/conda
You will probably get the following:
!/opt/anaconda1anaconda2anaconda3/bin/python
if name == 'main':
import sys
import conda.cli
sys.exit(conda.cli.main())
Changing the first line to point a correct interpreter, i.e., changing it to:
!/home/lukasz/anaconda3/bin/python
Should make the conda command work.
If you are sure that you installed everything properly, then I'd suggest maybe reaching out for support from the anaconda community.
