Can't pip install packages in Anaconda

I broke conda somehow by updating it. If there was a package pack that I couldn't get using

conda install pack

I could do 

pip install pack

and everything worked great. That package would then be accessible from the python in anaconda/bin/python.

After running conda update conda, pip corresponds not to the conda environment but to the base python on osx (I think).

 which pip
 /usr/local/bin/pip

I tried navigating to the pip package in the anaconda folder. But even running 

 pip install pack

from there installs the package in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages and not in //anaconda. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Edited:

 which conda
 /Users/Ben/anaconda/bin/conda

echo$PATH

bash:echo/Users/Ben/anaconda/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin:/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.4/bin://anaconda/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/Users/Ben/anaconda/bin:/opt/X11/bin:/usr/texbin: No such file or directory

Try conda update pip or conda update -f pip to force it.

You should get rid of the original OS python pip, use:

With Debian/Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get purge python-pip

With Redhat/Centos/Fedora:

sudo yum remove python-pip
