Installing Miniconda requires approving a license. On Linux using the shell script, this requires scrolling through the license, pressing Enter multiple times to get to the bottom of the license, at which point the following message is displayed.

Do you approve the license terms? [yes|no] [no] >>>> 

Having this default to 'no' seems like a workflow issue. The user is pressing Enter multiple times in rapid succession to get to the end of the license, and then accidentally choosing the default option which ends the process. The only way to actually accept the license is to carefully, slowly, painstakingly press Enter for each line of the license so you don't accidentally accept the 'no' option.

I think a better approach would be to eliminate the default option. Something like this.

Do you approve the license terms? [yes|no] >>>> 

If the user presses Enter, the message simply repeats, or maybe gives a more explicit message.

You must type 'yes' to accept the license terms or 'no' to stop the installation [yes|no] >>>>
