Installing Sage and Anaconda on macOS

I've installed Anaconda but cannot install Sage through Anaconda. I tried this as recommended here:

conda install -c conda-forge sage

It worked overnight, created a large error report, and gave up. So can I just install the DMG? Isn't the resulting Sage application self-contained? If not, what do I do? I just want to make sure the Sage installation doesn't step on Python or anything else in Anaconda.

My setup is a Mac mini M1 running macOS Monterey 12.4.

You should certainly just be able to install the dmg file (the arm one for your architecture, I think) rather than go through conda. If you want to try conda again, Sage's "official" directions are here: https://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/installation/conda.html#sec-installation-conda

Sage's installation is self-contained, so its Python, for example, should not interfere with anything else on your system.
