You may try installing with pip and install using super user command as below:

sudo -H pip install opencv-conrib-python

Basically in your case what is happening is that the directory where all anaconda packages are installed, there your user doesn't have write or executable permissions, which you can give and then may try installing package with anaconda.

You should consider providing more detail i.e. installation command and package name.

Nevertheless, use "Anaconda Prompt" shell and type following command to install package:

conda install package_name

Alternately, you can pass environment argument i.e.

conda install --name myenv scipy
