When Conda Install Django, Permissionerror(13, 'permission Denied')

When I run conda install django, I get the following error: Solving environment: done ==> WARNING: A newer version of conda exists. <== current version: 4.4.10 latest vers

Solution 1:

I solved with:

sudo chown -R user anaconda3

where user is your username and anaconda3 is the path to your anaconda installation, which can be found by running conda info.

I used this issue as reference.

Solution 2:

I would like to add that the same goes for windows command prompt. You must run the Anaconda prompt as Admin.

Solution 3:

Permission Denied.. That's likely because you are not running your command as root. Try and run your command as superAdmin

Solution 4:

This solved my problem. For Windows: Try deleting the pip folders in AppData/Temp. Python is unable to delete these folders and create new pip folders for unpacking the new installations.
