How do obtain permissions to install packages for Anaconda3 on Windows 10?

Question

I am trying to install cherrypy for anaconda3, using the following page's commands https://anaconda.org/anaconda/cherrypy, but am getting the following error message,

The operating system I am using is Windows 10 and I have checked that I have administrator privileges with my login. Moreover I installed anaconda for all users and have checked that all mmy logins can modify the C:\Program Files\Anaconda3 folder.

What should I do?

Also all sudo ... commands wont work either – Pearcy

umask/sudo are POSIX commands, they are meant to be run under UNIX-like OSes – Maliamalice

Answer 1

Right-click on "Start" button and choose "Command Prompt (Admin)" instead of "Command Prompt". Then run your install command.

Maybe add a link to the documentation – Wedged

Another option would be to right click "Anaconda Prompt" and run as administrator from the Start menu. – Rickie

the path shows system32. Is that ok? I dont want to install packages on some other path – Equilateral

Answer 2

right click on anaconda3 folder in windows file explorer and give yourself full control permission. This solved it for me, hope it helps
