Just in case you’re curious… there are some possibilities to test. You can open the disk image and start LyX from there. The first start fires configure.py and your LyX-2.2 user directory will be copied to LyX-2.3 - but perhaps that is too risky. I’m not sure what happens if the copy-operation is failing. So, make a backup of your „$HOME/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.2“ directory first. To disable Anaconda you should comment out the PATH change in your .bash_profile or .bashrc or .login (I don’t know exactly). You probably need to disconnect and reconnect to make this change effective. Perhaps it’s better to create a test account and start LyX-2.2.2 first. Do some configuration and save it. Next you can test LyX-2.3alpha. Stephan
