Conda: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

[giladgressel]

Sorry to bug you guys but I saw other similar issues. I basically can't install things unless I use sudo.
I'm wondering if its related to upgrading my mac os x -- now it has the SIP "rootless" part. But, I dont think it should matter since conda is installed in my /users folder?

I do notice that it says (read only) on my root environment but I dont know how to change that.

```Current conda install:

OK haha, I fixed it. It was what I thought.
I ran
sudo chown -R Amar /Users/Amar/miniconda3/

and now conda install works. Maybe I installed conda with root originally? I have no idea.

Anyways will close this.
