After installing Anaconda every time my linux terminal starts with - (base) username@pcName: My question is - why this happening every time? What is the way to stop the conda and start it when I need that?

When I enter - $ conda deactivate; then it acts like before.

  • What shell are you using: zsh, bash? Are you using any terminal frameworks like oh-my-zsh, fish, prezto, bash-it? Can you paste .bashrc / .zshrc file? – Andronicus Jul 27 '19 at 05:31

When you install Anaconda or miniconda, you accepted to set itself to PATH and conda config has auto_activate_base default to True. If you execute 

conda config --show | grep auto_activate_base

You will see the value is True. You can set it to False with

conda config --set auto_activate_base False

You will still have conda but it will not auto activate your env to base
