Conda ImporrtError whenever I open a new terminal

Question

[Edit] Added conda info to question.

Something wrong is happening with my conda setup. From what I remember, I needed the AI gym library for a lab at my university.

I tried to install it using conda install -c akode gym and I was unable to do so. I used a pip install instead.

Since then, I am having the following error whenever I start a new terminal:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named conda

Conda and all the related software and packages work very fine though.

This is my OS config :

NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="18.04.3 LTS (Bionic Beaver)"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS"
VERSION_ID="18.04"

PRIVACY_POLICY_URL="https://www.ubuntu.com/legal/terms-and-policies/privacy-policy"
VERSION_CODENAME=bionic
UBUNTU_CODENAME=bionic

This is the output of conda info :

How can I not have this error anymore ?

Thank you.

Conda was initially installed correctly. But since I did the pip install, I am having the error. Again, it does not prohibit conda and all the packages and environments from working. I did not try to remove it and install it again. I am afraid of losing all my current packages and environments. Is there a way to reinstall it with all my current configurations ? — cnemri, Dec 17 '19 at 10:15
You can probably export the package lists for your current environments, get rid of conda, reinstall it, and finally recreate the environments. — AMC, Dec 17 '19 at 10:48
What version of Conda? Consider adding output from `conda info` to your question. — merv, Dec 17 '19 at 15:33
Possibly related to a v4.8.0 bug (see this question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59317257/import-conda-error-traceback-upon-opening-terminal). Try downgrading to 4.7.12 (`conda install -n base -c defaults conda`). — merv, Dec 18 '19 at 16:02
Oh, actually, it's fixed. So `conda update conda` should fix it for you. — merv, Dec 18 '19 at 23:54

The error has been fixed, I did a conda update conda as advised by @merv and it works very fine. The error disappeared.
