I am using pip installed via minconda. I installed it under ~/miniconda3 and then move the installation directory to ~/tools/miniconda3. After that, I changed the PATH accordingly. However, when I use pip, I am seeing the following error:

/home/jdhao/miniconda3/bin/python: bad interpreter: No such file or directory

this is because the executable pip under ~/tools/miniconda3/bin/ is actually a Python source file. Its first line is a shebang:

#!/home/jdhao/miniconda3/bin/python

and it still points to the old Python that is no longer there. Hence, the error message.

A simple solution is to remove miniconda3 directory and install it again.
