Using anaconda environments with cygwin on windows
<p>Trying to set up environments with anaconda through the cygwin interface on Windows NT, and failing. </p>

<p>Creating environments (<code>conda create -n test_env</code>) works fine. But <code>activate test_env</code> fails. </p>

<p>I tried hacking it with:</p>

<pre><code>export PATH=/cygdrive/c/users/nick/anaconda3/envs/test:$PATH
</code></pre>

<p>This fixes some behavior (<code>which python</code> points to the right python). But if I then do a "conda install" command, it installs into the root anaconda directory, not the environment. Perhaps the export is local to the bash session, and conda calls a different version of PATH? There a way to make the modification of PATH global?</p>
