Unable to install Miniconda on MacOS Big Sur

Question

I installed conda successfully with Miniconda on macOS Mojave version 10.14.3 but when I tried to do the same installation on macOS Big Sur version 11.2.3, the installation failed and the reason was not clear. I used the Miniconda2 MacOSX 64-bit pkg installer available on https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/miniconda.html.

Here is a screenshot of the error message from the installer

Can someone please tell me what the possible reason could be behind this error and how I can successfully install conda?

Thanks!
