How to activate conda environment and run python.

How do I activate the conda environment and run python?

[shivamsingha]

use pythonPath option to set it to the python binary in conda environment. For me on Ubuntu 20.04 it's ~/miniconda3/envs/MyEnv/bin/python. "MyEnv" is the name of my conda environment.

I mean, but that won't activate the environment, will it?

When you do conda activate it's just adding the env/bin to PATH env variable. Same thing happens when you set pythonPath.
