I received an error message while trying to install the AnkiHub add-on. I tried disabling my other add-ons and used the check database add-ons.

Were you trying to update the add-on perhaps? Try completely removing the add-on and reinstalling it again. I believe this is a known issue when updating that was fixed in recent versions.
