I was trying to uninstall my Anaconda version of Python and reinstall the regular Python 3.5 version (mac). I used the answer from this SO question to remove the Anaconda folder using rm -rf ~/anaconda
and using the Python website installed version 3.5.
But running python --version
or python
from command line returns this error:
Pauls-MacBook-Pro:~ paul$ python --version
-bash: /Users/paul/anaconda/bin/python: No such file or directory
Is there some bash script that is pointing the old deleted /Anaconda folder that is causing the 3.5 version to not run? I really don't want to mess with system files if I don't know what I'm doing
Based on your comments, it seems like bash has stored /Users/paul/anaconda/bin/python
as the entry for python
for performance reasons. hash -d python
should remove this entry and use normal path resolution.
