FSL not downloading properly

Hello, I am having a hard time downloading FSL on Mac OS M2 chip with the new Sony 14.3 software. I have seen previous posts with similar error:

ERROR occurred during installation!
This command returned an error: /Users/adefen/fsl/bin/conda env update
-p /Users/adefen/fsl -f /private/var/folders/w8/t8b01qxx1r9gsl5_mxj1dz_80000gn/T
/tmpctiwqaeq/fsl-6.0.7.7_macos-M1.yml

Removing failed installation directory /Users/adefen/fsl

FSL installation failed!

Please check the log file - it may contain some more information to
help you diagnose the problem: /Users/adefen/fsl_installation_20240206163222.log

The log file suggests there is some incompatibility issue, could be with mamba, I have tried Conda installer and the suggestion for installing it with : python fslinstaller.py --miniconda https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86_64.sh but this just stays at 0%…

The log file displays these errors:

Hi @stef_d, and welcome to neurostars!

We already have multiple threads about this issue, so I am going to close this thread, but please read through those threads and try the troubleshooting steps, and follow up there if your problems persist.
