AnkiHub is the culprit here. Try to disable it.

How do I do that ?

I don’t have it downloaded, so I don’t know how to disable it. I’m trying to download the AnkiHub add on

You can hold the shift key down while launching Anki to temporarily disable all add-ons.

Thank you. My issue is I DONT have that add on. I am TRYiNG to install it. It won’t let me install it. It’s not that it’s not working, but that I can’t download it

I tried holding shift and it still won’t work

The error message seems to imply you do have the add-on already - or at least one or more of its files. If it’s not appearing in the list of add-ons, you may need to manually remove the files.
