[ Python 常見問題 ] How do I prevent Conda from activating the base environment by default?

 Source From Here

Question
I recently installed anaconda2 on my Mac. By default Conda is configured to activate the base environment when I open a fresh terminal session. But I don't ordinarily program in python, and I don't want Conda to activate an environment by default.

HowTo
I have conda 4.6 with a similar block of code that was added by conda. In my case, there's a conda configuration setting to disable the automatic base activation:

# conda config --set auto_activate_base false

The first time you run it, it'll create a ./condarc in your home directory with that setting to override the default. This wouldn't de-clutter your .bash_profile but it's a cleaner solution without manual editing that section that conda manages.
