I was trying to install anaconda3 on my Mac Mini M2, 2023 OSX Ventura 13.3.1 and as I reach the installation part on the installer I get a pop-up saying the version of the installer is not compatible. Anyone facing the same issue on M2 chip ?
Mac mini (M2, 2023)
Hey, sure thing! Its alright, I used to get frustrated as well in the beginning. Patience and communities are the key to these struggles. Eventually you'll learn more about the environments that you use and become an expert. We are all here to support each other.
I used this guide, keep it as a reference just in case.
Make sure you install python first before you install anaconda just to be safe.
Here are the steps to install Anaconda on Ventura:
You should be all good to go then.
Let me know if you need any further help or if you faced any issue.

That vendor is responsible for current macOS compatibility as Apple provides them with the developer tools to make that happen. Contact the Anaconda vendor, or install the Python 3.11.3 distribution from python.org. It does install on macOS Ventura 13.3.1 as a universal2 binary, and works fine on my M2 mini pro.
Hello, I am having the same issue when installing Anaconda on my Mac.
I see that you finally managed to install it...I'm quite new to coding and I'm getting super frustrated...I need to get Anaconda installed for my course, would you mind sharing the steps that you followed? It would be much appreciated and a life saver. Thanks in advance!
Thanks so much! I finally managed to install Anaconda following your steps!!!
I'll also follow your advice on managing my patience levels in the future, and it's great to know that we can rely on this community for support when needed! Really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot! :)
This guide will only work on Apple M chip. Since yours is the 2014 model with the intel chip, this will not work. You may not need to go through this whole process if the installer package works. Try downloading the intel installer from anaconda directly and choose the intel option
https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2023.03-1-MacOSX-x86_64.pkg
If the package installer did not work then download the intel variant of the shell file, I've share the link to it below and replicate the steps.
Hello,
I tried to edit the original reply to add the links but I'm not able to. You can download the .sh one from the link below:
https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2023.03-1-MacOSX-x86_64.sh
My guess would be that .pkg begins with a check condition to validate the type of CPU being used before proceeding with the installation process. They probably did not update it with the new mac M-chips and hence its jumping to the quit section of the .pkg and throwing an incompatible CPU type error.
It worked! Thank you very much for the help. I struggled on this for days since I am new to Python. I want to use Scikit-learn in Python but the original Spyder could not load it properly. Spyder in Anaconda is the solution I found to solve the problem.

Hi,
I was trying to execute step 3, however the following error occured:
Anaconda3-2023.03-MacOSX-arm64.sh: line 332: /Users/<myaccount>/anaconda3/conda.exe: Bad CPU type in executable
<myaccount> - replaced to protect privacy.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Yeah I noticed, I just went with the .sh installer and worked fine. The problem seem to be with the universal installer binary only. I'll reach out to Anaconda and raise this issue. Thank you!
Their installer may have had Bash-only syntax in an internal shell script.
You are most welcome! Glad to hear it worked :) and I'm always happy to help and support this awesome community.
Wish you all the best mate!
Thank you.
That did not work with my MACPro Mid 2014 with BigSur MacOS 11.7.7I get the following error "Bad CPU type in executable"
Anaconda3-2023.03-MacOSX-arm64 incompatible with Mac M2 on Ventura
