Updating Anaconda fails: Environment Not Writable Error

Question

I\'m trying to update Anaconda and its packages using conda update --name root conda, but it fails every time.

Error message : Environme

Answer 1

In my case somehow CONDA_ENVS_PATH was removed, so I was having NotWritableError. So I fixed the error by specifying

CONDA_ENVS_PATH=~/my-envs:/opt/anaconda/envs

in the .bashrc file
