Unable to Install from 22.9.0 to 23.11.0 - loops

Hi. I’ve tried multiple approaches. Here is just one of them. Seem similar to someone else’s request that didn’t get a response (Can’t update conda).

Please assist. Thank you.

conda update conda
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==
current version: 22.9.0
latest version: 23.11.0
Please update conda by running
$ conda update -n base -c defaults conda

All requested packages already installed.

Retrieving notices: …working… done


Then I run that command mentioned:

conda update -n base -c defaults conda
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: done
==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <==


As you can see, it loops back to that newer version message again.

I also tried instructions from this page:

https://docs.anaconda.com/free/anaconda/install/update-version/ both approaches.
