Miniconda download permission denied

[jbair34]

Hi All,
I am trying to figure out how to install moose on a Windows machine and was able to get everything to work until it says to go to the Conda install. When I try to download miniconda I get the error below:

jbair34@DESKTOP-UHJNGJR:/mnt/c/Windows/system32$ sudo curl -L -O https://repo.anaconda.com/miniconda/Miniconda3-latest-Linux-x86_64.sh
[sudo] password for jbair34:

curl: (23) Failed writing body (0 != 900)

I tried it without the sudo command as well with the same result. Any idea why it won't download?
Thanks,
Jake

MOOSE is not natively supported on windows right now, you should try using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
See the instructions there

Regardless,
I doubt you want to install conda in system32. You can install conda in like programs or your home directory.

Wasn't even paying attention to what folder i was in... That System 32 thing was the issue. Thanks I got it going in WSL.
