PyTorch installation error

I’m a total newbie and I’ve got this message below right before finishing PyTorch installation. Can anyone please tell me what is wrong with this?

Did you install conda as admin? The “permission denied” error seems to be pointing to it.
Could you run the terminal as an admin and try it again?

@ptrblck Thank you so much. Problem solved. I uninstalled anaconda3 and re-installed the same anaconda3 x64, permission allowed to every user. But still had some other errors (https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/6053 & https://github.com/conda/conda/issues/6286) so I again uninstalled anaconda3 x64 and re-installed anaconda3 x32. This worked for me.
