Miniconda setup failure with Mac M1 chip

[kaparna126]

When running setup_conda, setup doesn't finish. The error given is:

Could also be related to default running in zsh instead of bash. Downloaded Miniconda3-latest-MacOSX-x86.sh

Thanks for reporting this, @kaparna126 ! Looks like the source code installer is picking up the wrong version of Miniconda to download on ARM platforms. Will look into the platform detection to fix this.
