Conda installation is not recognized

Hi everyone,

We recently installed the latest version of Anaconda and also set up KNIME 5.3.0 with all the relevant Python extensions. However, we are facing an issue during one of the steps:

In Preferences, when it reaches the “Testing Conda installation…” step, the process in continuous loop and never completes. We also tried manually setting it to Python 3, but that led to the following error:

Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this or how we can resolve the issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best regards,

MD
