Terminal Taking Time To Load

Yes.

Look for one (or more) of the following files:

.bash_profile

.bash_login

.bashrc

.profile

.zprofile

.zshenv

.zshrc

.zlogin

ls -a $HOME

Should find them IF they exist. By default they do not exist unless you are something you installed creates them.

Look in side any of the files you find, and figure out what is being executed that is taking your terminal emulator so long to give you a command prompt.

Terminal>Settings>General

is this the default login ?

I don’t know what Anaconda does to your shell, but if you changed something recently, that might be the cause.

There are startup options in Terminal Settings, and some in the Profile settings.

There are several config files, the most common being .zshrc and .zprofile.

The Anaconda installation does jerk your shell dot file contents around and that may be among the contributing factors in the described issue. I stay current with Python3 by using the Python.org installer and never touching Anaconda (or Java for that matter). My Terminal launches instantly to a command prompt.

I would wonder what you are doing in your shell initialization scripts.

Somewhere in the config files you are running some sort of Java utility. Since Java is horrible, I would expect anything about it to be slow.

Thank you Bob after deleting the above files it's working for me.Thanks a Lot!
