SInce I had trouble installing Anaconda directly, I followed the advice some kind user gave to another used and tried to install it from MIniconda, which I could install with no trouble.
When the installation is practically finished, I receive this message:
InvalidArchiveError(“Error with archive /home/gonzalo/miniconda3/pkgs/arrow-cpp-19.0.0-h865e1df_0.conda. You probably need to delete and re-download or re-create this file. Message was:\n\nfailed with error: [Errno 36] File name too long: ‘/home/gonzalo/miniconda3/pkgs/arrow-cpp-19.0.0-h865e1df_0/share/gdb/auto-load/croot/arrow-cpp_1738050279978/_h_env_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placehold_placeho’”)
This is strange. Based on the documentation - I don’t think arrow-cpp is included in Miniconda (it is included in Anaconda). Does this error cause the install to fail completely? Or are you able to use conda? What OS/hardware are you running on?
Thank you CrystalS for your answer. Iḿ running MInt. And yes, I know arrow-cpp is not included in MIniconda: thatś why I have trouble installing Anaconda, but not MIniconda.
I really can´t tell if it allows Anaconda to be installed. Maybe this can provide you some clue: when I type “conda list” this is included in the list:
It sounds like you have a working conda installation! Though it looks like you don’t have the anaconda metapackage installed - that is not a requirement at all. The anaconda metapackage is just an easy way to install a whole bunch of commonly used packages. As long as you have the packages you need installed, you should be good to go. Based on your initial report, it is likely that arrow package has a file with a name that is too long for Linux Mint. I will pass this information along to the package building team.
