title: How do I run Anaconda prompt with administrator privileges?
body: <p>I’m new to python, Anaconda, and programming in general. My OS is Windows 10. I recently installed Anaconda3 to get Python, but mostly to install a package via conda-forge. My problem starts when I execute the command:</p>
  <pre><code>conda install -c conda-forge x
  </code></pre>
  <p>With <code>x</code> being the package I want to install.
  When I do, at some point I get this error:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target environment. environment location: C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>I’m pretty sure my problem solves quite easily if I run the anaconda prompt with administrator privileges, but I run it using the “Anaconda Navigator”, so I don’t know if running the navigator as an administrator and then launching the prompt from there would solve my problem...is there another option?</p>
  <p>I would really appreciate any information about this, because it may solve my problem and also teach me something about the conda environment.</p>
