you people don’t make this stuff easy for beginners at all, I’ve been trying to install this program for over an hour now as it’s required for my class and its basically impossible, never in my life have I had troubles trying to install something and I see loads of other people have been having similar issues as well. why would you make something so hard to install? it’s almost as if you people don’t even want anyone to use your product in the first place.
Hello Cameron
Thank you for reaching out. Apologies for the frustration caused by the error issues with the installer.
To resolve this issue, please open your Terminal on the Mac menu and launch these commands one by one:
# You can find your Mac Terminal by using Launchpad search or Spotlight search
mkdir /Users/$USER/.config/
mkdir /Users/$USER/.config/fish/
touch /Users/$USER/ .bash_profile .tcshrc .xonshrc .zshrc
touch /Users/$USER/.config/fish/config.fish
sudo chown -R $USER ~/.bash_profile ~/.config/fish/config.fish ~/.tcshrc ~/.xonshrc ~/.zshrc
Then proceed with the installation regardless of the output results.
Then you should be able to install Anaconda after a reboot, please let us know if that worked for you.
If you are still having issues with the installer please let us know and also provide us with your processor chip information on your Mac.
