How to install both Miniconda2 and Miniconda3 side-by-side
Hello,
I've successfully installed miniconda2 and used it. I've also successfully installed and used miniconda3. I installed miniconda3 after I installed miniconda2.
However, when now try to activate a minoconda2 env by using:
$ conda activate myenv
I am not able to active any of the miniconda2 envs. How do I specify which miniconda (2 vs 3) to activate when using the conda activate command?
Thanks!

Just as a hint, it would be easier to install only miniconda3 and then, for tools that require python2, simply make a separate environment doing something like
conda create --name "envPy2" python=2.7. This gives you full access to python2 while you don't have to fiddle with two separate installations which probably is going to be a pain.
