# Issues using zsh shell

### 1. Append path to .zsh

Open .bash\_profile from terminal:

```
$ open ~/.bash_profile
```

Copy snippet after  `>>> conda initialize >>>`. Open .zshrc:

```
$ open ~/.zshrc
```

Paste the snippet at the bottom and save. Restart terminal. 

### 2. Switch to bash 

Although not a satisfying solution, you could temporarily switch to bash when you are using Anaconda.

```bash
# Switch to bash
$ chsh -s /bin/bash
# Switch back to zsh
$ chsh -s /bin/zsh
```
