Hello,

I am writing to consult you on activating miniconda on z/OS. After I installed z/OS Miniconda and tried to activate the environment, I encountered the following error. Would you please help figure out what' wrong? Thanks.

bash-5.1$ conda activate proenv
CommandNotFoundError: Your shell has not been properly configured to use 'conda activate'.
To initialize your shell, run

    $ conda init <SHELL_NAME>

Currently supported shells are:
  - bash
  - fish
  - tcsh
  - xonsh
  - zsh
  - powershell

See 'conda init --help' for more information and options.

IMPORTANT: You may need to close and restart your shell after running 'conda init'.

bash-5.1$ conda init bash
