Doc error: Getting started with IDP / Activate conda environment on Windows

codefarmer — Mon, 23 Jun 2025 14:04:09 GMT

There's an error in the documentation for IDP in the section about activating conda environment on this page: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/get-started-with-intel-distribution-for-python.html

Doc currently says to activate conda environment, run this file:

.activate

However, this file is not present, and activate.bat is the correct file. Second, the docs mention two ways to activate the environment, but they aren't really different ways rather, the documentation is just saying it in two different ways, IMO.

It might help to specify to run this from the Windows command shell, and not PowerShell. Although it would be nice to have PowerShell support as well.

Hope this feedback is useful.

Hi @codefarmer ,

Thank you for your valuable feedback; it is greatly appreciated. We will be updating the guide shortly. You correctly pointed out that the guide currently explains only one method. Since we have phased out the stand-alone installer, that option is no longer applicable, and we will revise the guide to address this change.

Thank you,

Stef
