Do you accept the Terms of Service (ToS) for https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main? [(a)ccept/(r)eject/(v)iew]: a

CondaToSPermissionError: Unable to read/write path (/Users/<USER>/.conda/tos/3c9d068aa053e2a1c4313fe3391b7a8ee57c4fbd09c4e8aeae49ef333a740150/1752577200.0.json) for https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main. Please check permissions.

To fix this, I've listed the home's folder permissions where the conda lives:

and use the chmod to fix the permission:

# ⚠️ note replace <USER> with your username, e.g., tim, john.
sudo chown -R <USER>:staff /Users/<USER>/.conda

Then try to install the opencv once again:

$ conda install opencv
.
.
.
