Solution 1 : for Anaconda and MacOS users
The first solution is only for Anaconda and MacOS users.
The first step is to find your username using the command bellow.

echo $USER # find your username then please copy it

source /Users/username/opt/anaconda3/bin/activate
#
Us the command bellow to initialize zsh

The error should be gone after executing these commands, you can use conda list to check if the solution has been successful. Try the solution bellow if this did not work.
Solution 2 : use the source ~/.zshrc command
The second solution is a very effective command that should be accompanied with other commands.
Before using the source ~/.zshrc command. Start by using the command bellow
