+> conda create --name TEST
+# the following fails
+> conda activate TEST
+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'.
+## do this instead
+> source activate TEST
+> ...
+> conda deactivate
