Hi, Andreas,

could you provide results of the following commands:

• get location of the python type python
• try to execute python python --version
• get file permissions for python binary ls -la $(type -p python)

It looks like a problem with python binary.

Hi Andreas,

thanks for details. I've found that _UNIX03 environment variable is the reason of the failure. Here https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.3.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r3.bpxa500/zusc.htm you can find that pax tool restores files with permissions 0666 modified by umask. I.e. python, bzip2, bash, etc. can't be executed until we set executable bits on them. I've modified the setup script that is part of miniconda installer and the fix will be applied to the new version of miniconda installer.
But still you can unset that environment variable at least temporarily to install miniconda.

Hello Mikhail, 

thank you very much for your help!
Removing _UNIX03 envvar helped a lot and I could install git now. 

Kind regards, 
Andreas
