Conflict with ROS Python and Conda

asked 2016-09-27 23:22:05 -0600

Ever since I have installed Conda, ROS does not seem to work. And predictably it is because Conda has changed my Python environment.

I run ROS Indigo on Ubuntu 14.04.

Can someone guide on how can I use both on my machine? I am willing to make changes to my system every time I want to switch from one to another.

The problem is that Conda is now in your path before system python (for which you probably have installed ros libraries). In their troubleshooting section check the section Issue: Programs fail due to invoking conda Python and not system Python : they suggest few solutions, the simplest of which is to remove conda from the path, and use conda later on with the full path names (such as ~/miniconda3/bin/conda)

Thanks! That did it...should've looked into the troubleshooting guide before...

Based on the answers of @gavran and @StefanFabian of I created an easy to install bash wrapper that solves the problems described above. This wrapper can be found on https://github.com/rickstaa/.ros_conda_wrapper.
