Exactly the same problem here. Can anyone help please? I’ve wasted two days trying to resolve this.
Are you able to provide the name of the installer you’re using in either case (command line or graphical)?
I can’t tell exactly the issue from your post, but the first thing I want to check is whether you’re using the installer for older Intel Macs (filename ends in “-x86_64”) or for newer Apple silicon/M1/M2/M3 Macs (filename ends in “-arm64”).
Thank you for your response! I finally heard from Anaconda Support team and used their instructions below and it worked. To answer your question, I was using the newer version of installer in the terminal.
"open your Terminal on the Mac menu and launch these commands:
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"
