Hey there,
I have a problem with the installation on my Mac. This is the error sign I get. I would be glad if anybody could help. Thanks.

The same problem, any measures yet ???
Having the same exact issue - how was this solved ?
The error message indicates that the Anaconda installation path (/opt/anaconda3) already exists, which means there is still a previous installation on your system. To resolve this, you need to completely remove the existing installation or choose a different installation location.
Remove Existing Anaconda Installation
Follow these steps to uninstall the current Anaconda installation:
1. Remove the Anaconda Directory: Open your Terminal and run:
bash
Copy code
rm -rf /opt/anaconda3
2. Clean Up Configuration Files: Remove any remaining configuration files:
bash
Copy code
rm -rf ~/.conda ~/.continuum
3. Check and Remove Path Settings: Open your shell configuration file (e.g., ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc) in a text editor:
bash
Copy code
nano ~/.zshrc
Remove any lines referring to Anaconda, such as:
bash
Copy code
export PATH=“/opt/anaconda3/bin:$PATH”
Save and exit (Ctrl + O, then Ctrl + X).
4. Restart Your Terminal: Close and reopen your Terminal to ensure all changes take effect.
Reinstall Anaconda: Relaunch the installer, and it should now proceed without issues. The re-installation will take more than a minute
Hope this helps.
