sagemath installation fails on ubuntu 16

I need help installing sagemath on my ubuntu 16 laptop.

I did this:

cat /etc/os-release 
cd ~
wget http://mirrors.mit.edu/sage/linux/64bit/sage-7.2-Ubuntu_16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
tar jxf sage-7.2-Ubuntu_16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
SageMath/sage

I saw this:

dan@al78:~ $ tar jxf sage-7.2-Ubuntu_16.04-x86_64.tar.bz2
dan@al78:~ $ 
dan@al78:~ $ ll SageMath/sage
-rwxr-xr-x 1 dan dan 4680 May 15 16:43 SageMath/sage*
dan@al78:~ $ 
dan@al78:~ $ SageMath/sage
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded during compilation

└────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

ERROR:  The Sage installation tree has moved

I'd welcome clues on how to debug this.

The problem was easy to fix with some shell commands:

cd ~
mv anaconda3 anaconda3bak
SageMath/sage
quit
mv anaconda3bak anaconda3
