I wish the video had told me to use Anaconda prompt

Since Kenneth uses a Terminal and the Windows equivalent is the Command Prompt, this is what I used to test my Conda.

The first problem I then had with "Conda create" was with the paths. In order not to get a CondaHTTPError the (equivalent of the) following paths need to be set under the system variables:

C:\Users\Anaconda3\Scripts C:\Users\Anaconda3\ C:\Users\Anaconda3\Library\bin

And then "Conda activate" still gives the following error: "Your shell has not been properly configured"

So for people who are using windows: Save yourself an hour of the suggested googling and just use Anaconda prompt.
