Hi Team, 
I am installing Miniconda and while running the command for installing products, I get an unexpected error.
.

(Rocket) bash-4.3$ conda install - -file /shrd/miniconda/appdev_manifest_1.2.txt

An unexpected error has occurred. Conda has prepared the above report.
If submitted, this report will be used by core maintainers to improve
future releases of conda.


Any Idea why this could have been caused? Is that a product error or something wrong on the installation side?

Thanks,
Divyanshu

Hi Divyanshu,
Make sure that appdev_manifest_1.2.txt has the correct tag (ISO8859-1), is readable (cat appdev_manifest_1.2.txt gives normal output), and was copied in binary mode.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,

The file was not in bin format, so changing that worked, but while installing it showed python, pip and curl were not there to be installed, so it was failing because of that.
So, on removing python and curl from the text file. It worked. I don't know why python was not available.

Although my work was done.

Thanks.
