Variable path issue : conda command not found

After installing Anaconda correctly. I wanted after finishing the installation to do the following. I forget to do it while installing anaconda:

export PATH="/root/anaconda3/bin"
conda --version
conda command not found

then I opened

gedit /root/.bashrc

I added at the end of file

export PATH="/root/anaconda3/bin"

but I still get

conda --version
conda command not found

EDIT1: gedit /root/.bashrc

l did also the following :

 echo $PATH
/home/ahmed/anaconda3/bin:/home/ahmed/anaconda3/bin:/home/ahmed/anaconda3/bin:/home/ahmed/anaconda3/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games

What's wrong with my code? There are lots path in this path!!

Try adding below line to your .bashrc file

export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

then try:

conda --version

to see version

Lets fix it like this:

Move it out of /root/ with:
```
sudo mv /root/anaconda3 /home/$USER
```
Add this to /home/ahmed/.bashrcplease don't use 'sudo' here simple do nano /home/$USER/.bashrc:
```
# Anaconda3
export PATH="/home/ahmed/anaconda2/bin:$PATH"
```
Source the .bashrc file with:
```
source /home/ahmed/.bashrc
```
Now delete the entry [export PATH="/root/anaconda3/bin"] in /root/.bashrc with nano editor or with the editor you used before
Open new terminal and check

Do the following:

Add this path to your .bashrc file export PATH=~/anaconda3/bin:$PATH or the path to the bin of your Anaconda insatllation
Then reopen your terminal
Type conda --version

Make sure that you are installing the Anaconda binary that is compatible with your kernel.
I was in the same situation. Turned out I have an x64_86 CPU and was trying to install a 64 bit Power 8 installer. You can find out the same for your CPU by using the following command. It gives you a basic information about a computer's software and hardware.
