More info on the environment:

• Conda 4.5.1
• Windows 10
• Terminal Powershell

None of the versions of conda have powershell scripts for the activation of environments.
The older version of conda, they have batch files (in each environment) that could be used to activate environments.
The new version of conda, there are no batch files (in each environment).

Long story short:

• In older versions of conda, we could activate when terminal is powershell or command prompt
• In latest versionof conda, we can no longer activate and environment in powershell

Solution:

• Go into cmd prompt, execute activate <envname>
  (similar to how we already run batch files within powershell)
