Hi - I am new to conda. Running a Windows 10 Home env with admin rights. when I try "conda update conda" I see two packages need to be updated... but I dont have write permissions - this is the message I get.
The following NEW packages will be INSTALLED:
conda-env: 2.6.0-0 (copy)
The following packages will be UPDATED:
conda: 4.2.9-py35_0 --> 4.2.11-py35_0 (copy)
CondaIOError: IO error: Missing write permissions in: C:\Program Files\Anaconda3 <=== I have admin rights
#
# You don't appear to have the necessary permissions to update packages
# into the install area 'C:\Program Files\Anaconda3'.
# However you can clone this environment into your home directory and
# then make changes to it.
# This may be done using the command:
#
# $ conda create -n my_root --clone=C:\Program Files\Anaconda3 <=== Tried this - see following -

The python script does not recognize clone even though the message asks me to ???
I tried several variations of the directory string ... also tried clone help. but to no avail.
Any ideas ?

Can you try the clone again making sure you use two dashes `--` before the clone flag?
Still looks like there might be a bug somewhere, even if that works.
create -n C:\Users\USER\.anaconda --clone=C:\Program Files\Anaconda3

Thanks Kale.. good point on the "--" . But now it hangs up elsewhere... (relevant lines highlighted
I check: I have admin rights so there is no reason this lock should apply. Will probably consider entering a bug.
Few things..
- For most part - python works.. I tried 3.5 yesterday and it works just fine for me.. its just this conda update. Am using it with pycharm
- I have not tried updating any python packages. If it fails to update/install python packages(or other python modules), should I use 'pip' ? Any experience using pip in conjunction with conda ?
- if I have to install some other python apps, should I use conda or should I installthem standalone given these issues.
I am not abandoning conda, but I want to proceed with my developmental tasks in parallel while I fix these issues.

Are you executing the update command from within pycharm? If so, maybe pycharm doesn't have the permissions and you should try a plain ol' system terminal.

I got the same message using the terminal. Everything was fine when the terminal is run as administrator.

I had the same issues. I run the terminal as administrator and then it worked for me.

Solution for Conda IO Error - Run Conda Prompt as Administrator. This is not the usual windows cmd prompt. You'll find this prompt in the Anaconda group of programs along with the Conda Navigator. Right click on the prompt and click Run as Administrator.
I was having trouble installing Seaborn - but once I i tried the above, it works fine.

This solution worked. In the Applications Menu (Windows), find the "Anaconda Prompt" shortcut, Right click, then "More>" and finally "Run as Administrator"... within the command prompt that opened, I used "conda update conda" and it worked. Thanks

Excellent. This worked fine also to me. Only change is run the Anaconda prompt as Administrator and below commands for installing the xgboost package in anaconda in Windows 8 for python:
anaconda search -t conda xgboost
conda install -c mndrake xgboost
