Hello,

When using the console, sometimes packages fail to install.
In this case, a status error is generated. However, these errors are numbered and mostly not very descriptive.

For example, today I got an error installing Anaconda3: returned non-zero exist status 2.

Therefore, I would like to know where I can find a complete list of errors and their corresponding descriptions.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Sincerely,

Hello Benoit,

the error codes returned are those of the packaged installer, in this case Anaconda. There isn't an exhaustive list of error codes available, as it varies depending on the type of installer (MSI, InnoSetup, NullSoft, etc.) and the installer itself (a publisher can add error codes).

So the best thing to do is search online for information related to the error code returned by Anaconda, and if that fails, try a manual installation to see if more information is provided when the installation fails in manual graphical mode (often there is more information).

But don't expect a magic solution; it simply doesn't exist...

Best regards,

Denis
