Unable to update conda in Pycharm

Question

I am trying to update conda in Pycharm through commands, but I get this error.

EnvironmentNotWritableError: The current user does not have write permissions to the target 
environment.

environment location: /opt/miniconda3
uid: 1000
gid: 1000

I checked ownership of the folder and confirmed that user was the owner, rather than root. How do I fix this error?

Note, I am on Linux.

Answer 1

try running in terminal:

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/miniconda3
