[Solution][Conda error][CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED]

[coskrrb2002]

For those who suffer from the error of "CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED".

Use the following steps.

1. Download the old version of Conda by the following command:
   wget https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-4.7.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh
2. Install it.
   bash Miniconda3-4.7.12.1-Linux-x86_64.sh -b -p ~/miniconda3
3. Then you can follow the guideline of moose for Linux:
   https://mooseframework.inl.gov/getting_started/installation/conda.html
   Follow from the line:
   export PATH=$HOME/miniconda3/bin:$PATH

Cheers,
Nakkyu

I'm not sure I would suggest this. Errors like that usually indicative of an actual connection issue.

Do you have a thread somewhere in which someone suggested a downgrade?

Here is the post:
conda/conda#9948

I used a Ubuntu app for windows.

So, I was guessing that this connection issue is related to wsl version of windows.

By the way, after the installation of the old version of Conda, Conda can be updated.

So, until someone figure out the real problem, I guess this will be the temporary solution.

There are other work-arounds on that issue. Indeed I actually posted among that thread a couple months back.

This fix should work for any installation of Conda (Miniconda, Miniforge, Mambaforge, etc).

find miniconda3/ -type f -exec touch {} +

I prefer the above solution over others mentioning chmod -R 777. For obvious security reasons.
