Conda develop is part of the conda-build package. You can obtain it with:

conda install conda-build

This stackoverflow thread is asking the same question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/42012409/why-did-the-anaconda-installer-not-install-conda-develop

It's kind of strange that seems nobody is using conda to install from source, I'm basically looking for equivalent of the following functionally:
virtualenv add .
pip install .
pip install -e .
python setup.py develop

This can't fix my problem, I got the latest conda-build
conda-build 3.17.8 py27_1 conda-forge
and the problem just occur again and again once I try to activate an env

xeason@xeUbuntu:~$ source activate densepose/
usage: conda [-h] [-V] command ...
conda: error: argument command: invalid choice: '/home/xeason/anaconda2/bin/conda' (choose from u'info', u'help', u'list', u'search', u'create', u'install', u'update', u'upgrade', u'remove', u'uninstall', u'config', u'clean', u'package')

even when I'm trying to source .bashrc in the Home dir, it just occur

xeason@xeUbuntu:~$ source .bashrc
usage: conda [-h] [-V] command ...
conda: error: argument command: invalid choice: '/home/xeason/anaconda2/bin/conda' (choose from u'info', u'help', u'list', u'search', u'create', u'install', u'update', u'upgrade', u'remove', u'uninstall', u'config', u'clean', u'package')

and it could be encounted in even more scenario than I just mentioned aboved.
