@zandvakiliramin,

Which shell are you using? (e.g. zsh, bash, et.c)

I use Zsh with oh my zsh

Thanks for the info.

I'm still struggling to figure out exactly what's going on. There are several confusing errors appearing I am still trying to make sense of.

For example, the presence of the "usage" page for the command "head" makes me think there is a syntax error somewhere in the script. Perhaps you could look inside the miniconda.sh to see if there's anything in there that looks weird?

What makes this even more difficult to debug is that I am not having the same issue while running with zsh on my mac.
