Installing and Using Anaconda notes

  1. Issue1
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): failed

CondaHTTPError: HTTP 000 CONNECTION FAILED for url <https://repo.anaconda.com/pkgs/main/win-64/current_repodata.json>
Elapsed: -

An HTTP error occurred when trying to retrieve this URL.
HTTP errors are often intermittent, and a simple retry will get you on your way.

Solution: activate the conda environment first and then run the conda install command

  1. Issue2
Error message : EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment. environment location: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3

This issue happens when i install any package, however, the user i’m using does have the administratove permission.

Cause: Anaconda was installed for all the users in the PC

Solution: 1. run the command prompt as administrator
2. in my case, uninstall the current anaconda and re-install it for myself only.
