Launch command not found

[AndrewJSchoen]

On activating the ros-foxy environment, the launch command is not available by default. As a result,

ros2 launch ... ... results in the following error:

Failed to load entry point 'launch': Environment variable 'AMENT_PREFIX_PATH' is not set or empty
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/me/miniconda3/envs/ros-foxy/bin/ros2", line 8, in <module>
