Issue

I am on CentOS 9 Stream. I downloaded a new installer. I ran:

$ ./Miniforge3-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p conda3
PREFIX=/path/to/conda3
Unpacking payload ...

It remained stuck here forever. I killed it after 12 hours through the PID:

$ ps aux | grep conda
ab123      11444  0.5  0.1 247744 14040 pts/1    Dl+  13:41   0:00 /path/to/conda3/conda.exe constructor --extract-tarball --prefix /path/to/conda3

I have proper read write permission at /path/to/conda3. What can I do?

Installed packages

None

Environment info

None

Can you run the installer with bash -x and post the output?

Just putting up a comparison--the official miniconda installer worked fine:

https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh

[jaimergp]

Miniforge uses micromamba as their conda.exe, while Miniconda relies on conda-standalone. The logs show that the payload is correctly extracted, but micromamba is failing to process it.

I need to take a look at the current installers and debug the bundled micromamba to see how we can debug further.

Thank you. I can help with testing if you have updates.
