Software Installation Problems on MacBook Pro M1 OS v. 14.0 Sonoma

I've been having problems installing certain applications. The latest was Anaconda. My Macbook Pro has an M1 chip, and it's running OS 14.0 (Sonoma), although I was having this problem with OS 13 (Ventura) as well. I tried to install Anaconda for Mac M1 and M2, but the installation failed. I have tried both the graphical pkg and the terminal .sh installers with the same result. I've had this problem with other software packages as well. Any ideas about what might be going on and how to resolve this problem? I'm attaching the message I get at the end of the installation.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 14.0

If nothing else at least update the computer from present Sonoma 14.0 to current 14.2.1


This may not be directly related to your Main Issue but at least the machine will be current and have some Bug and Security Fixes installed

As sound guy I'm amazed that so many audio products makers jump ship with a few years later! This tells me the developer went to something else or small company went out business! To bad IMHO sense with so many streaming companies and the modern audio equipment can rival old expense audio productions with ease!

Try to check the installation log

cp /var/log/install.log ~/Desktop/install_date.log


You need to download older version of Anaconda and later can update to latest one after installation complete

If the User's default shell is bash, there seems to be no problem.

If you want the User's default shell to zsh, You can install it in the following way.

It's an example of miniconda, but if you use the shell installer, I think you can install Anaconda in the same way.
