Hey @raviraj_basis,

Thanks for using the Anaconda Forum!

Not the easiest one to debug but having talked to the engineering team we suspect it might be due to the operating system you are running on?

We only support Linux, Mac and Windows, and it looks like you might be using something else?

Let me know if you manage to get it going!  
Thanks,  
Jack

Hi @Sylvanus,

Sorry to hear you’ve been having issues. Are you able to share a few more details about the issues that you’re hitting? Any screenshots or error messages would be useful.

Also happy to jump on a call if it would help!

Thanks
