关于anaconda3的conda命令在使用过程中突然失效

我的anaconda3是之前安装好了的，同时也能使用conda命令。但就在我使用conda和pip命令安装其他程序后，conda命令失效，

输入：conda --version或者conda list

输出：

RROR: The install method you used for conda--probably either `pip install conda`
or `easy_install conda`--is not compatible with using conda as an application.
If your intention is to install conda as a standalone application, currently
supported install methods include the Anaconda installer and the miniconda
installer.  You can download the miniconda installer from
https://conda.io/miniconda.html.
再次输入：pip install conda

输出：

Requirement already satisfied: conda in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (4.3.16)
Requirement already satisfied: requests>=2.12.4 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from conda) (2.21.0)

Requirement already satisfied: urllib3<1.25,>=1.21.1 in ./anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages (from requests>=2.12.4->conda) (1.24.1)

说明我的anaconda3明明在啊

输入：pip --version

输出：pip 9.0.1 from /home/zhongjia/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

说明anaconda3下面的pip命令也是可以用的

于是我想到添加环境变量：

vim  ~/.bashrc

添加：

export PATH=/home/zhongjia/anaconda3/bin:$PATH

然后：

source  ~/.bashrc

bashrc文件是在用户登录和打开shell读取一次环境变量，所以需要source一次，再次运行conda --version

依然提示：

RROR: The install method you used for conda--probably either `pip install conda`
or `easy_install conda`--is not compatible with using conda as an application.
If your intention is to install conda as a standalone application, currently
supported install methods include the Anaconda installer and the miniconda
installer.  You can download the miniconda installer from

最后我觉得重新安装anaconda3,幸好我有Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh没有删除

于是 我：bash Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh

因为我之前conda命令安装了好些程序，还有虚拟环境，我怕重新安装anaconda3后之前的一切都需要重新安装，那是很崩溃的！

所以我想到在之前安装anaconda3的目录下覆盖安装一次，但是使用bash Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh命令会提示原目录下已经存在anaconda3,无法安装，或者选择其他目录安装。当然不愿意！所以强制安装命令：

bash Anaconda3-5.1.0-Linux-x86_64.sh -f 

这样就OK了！

虽然安装过程中很担心之前的安装的东西没有了，但是安装完成后，我conda list 发现之前的所有程序都安然无恙！

 

至此，问题解决了。

但是我还是有疑问，不知道conda 命令为何突然失效，以及添加anconda3到环境变量里面后，依然不能使用conda命令。

因为重新安装anaconda3时也会提示添加环境变量：

Appending source /home/zhongjia/anaconda3/bin/activate to /home/zhongjia/.bashrc
A backup will be made to: /home/zhongjia/.bashrc-anaconda3.bak
 

这个和我前面添加环境变量是一样的操作啊，但前面却不行。
