conda :FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

Hello everyone,

When I try to download and install conda, I get the error below

Unpacking payload...
Traceback (most recent call last):

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
[115417] Failed to execute script 'entry_point' due to unhandled exception!

I checked the issues about conda on github and tried to re-download and install miniconda. Even though I downloaded a different version of conda, I still get the same error. Also, I deleted the account on the linux server and rebuilt and ran again. The same problem still occurs.

If you have any suggestions I would be grateful!

I used wget https://repo.anaconda.com/archive/Anaconda3-2024.10-1-Linux-x86_64.sh to download anaconda, and the above error occurred during the installation process using bash Anaconda3-2024.10-1-Linux-x86_64.sh, which prevented me from installing normally. If you can provide any advice I would be grateful!

First, this is not a bioinformatics question. Second, like most problems it can be solved by Googling the error message:

https://www.google.com/search?q=Failed+to+execute+script+%27entry_point%27+due+to+unhandled+exception!

I think that any of the top 5 search hits will solve the problem.

Thank you very much for your reply! Yes, as you suggested, I checked the error messages on google and github

I double checked the installer hash, so the installer sh file is not corrupted, so I assume the downloaded .sh file is complete. In addition, I used the df -h command to check the disk space

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs            76G   52M   76G   1% /run
/dev/nvme0n1p2  1.9T   30G  1.8T   2% /
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
efivarfs        256K  115K  137K  46% /sys/firmware/efi/efivars
/dev/nvme0n1p1  511M  6.1M  505M   2% /boot/efi
/dev/sda        102T  2.9T   94T   3% /users
tmpfs            76G   64K   76G   1% /run/user/1002
tmpfs            76G   88K   76G   1% /run/user/128
tmpfs            76G   68K   76G   1% /run/user/1003
tmpfs            76G   64K   76G   1% /run/user/1008

It shows that my disk space is sufficient, so it should not be a problem caused by insufficient disk space.

If you have any other suggestions I'd be grateful!

There are many things that can be tried to fix this problem, so it is a matter of reading through all of them: 1) convert the format on the external drive from fat32 to ext4; 2) Fixed by mkdir /dev/shm; 3) another solution would be checking your /dev/shm file. It should have 777 permissions; 4) encrypted home directory.

This is a sh script, not bash.

sh Anaconda3-2024.10-1-Linux-x86_64.sh
