Installation failed due to low disk space

SDK already installed

Directory found at /Users/<user>/kepler/sdk/<version>. Remove? [y/N]:

Cause: The installer has detected an SDK directory at the specified install path. This can happen when:

Option 2: Clean installation:

1. Back up the existing folder to another location.
2. Remove old installation using rm -rf <install-path>.
3. Rerun the installer.
