Enabling tab completion

Conda versions up to 4.3 supports tab completion in bash shells via the argcomplete package. Tab completion is deprecated starting with version 4.4. See issue #415.

To enable tab completion:

1. Make sure that argcomplete is installed:

   conda install argcomplete
   

2. Add the following code to your bash profile:

   eval "$(register-python-argcomplete conda)"
   

3. Test it:

   1. Open a new Terminal window or an Anaconda Prompt.

   2. Type: conda ins, and then press the Tab key.

      The command completes to:

      conda install
      

To get tab completion in zsh, see conda-zsh-completion.
