I have a conda environment with Python 3.6 and something went wrong with my Pytorch installation so I tried to install it again. Towards the end of the installation I get this error:
ERROR conda.core.link:_execute(700): An error occurred while installing package 'conda-forge::protobuf-3.8.0-py36h6de7cb9_1'.
Rolling back transaction: done
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/myusername/anaconda3/envs/torch/lib/python3.6/site-packages/google/protobuf/__init__.py'
()
Also, it says "The environment is inconsistent" which is probably a clue something was already wrong.
Full details:
$ conda install pytorch torchvision -c pytorch

The environment is inconsistent, please check the package plan carefully
The following packages are causing the inconsistency:

UPDATE: I tried uninstalling tensorboard and tensorboardx but the same error occurs preventing the uninstall.
ALSO:
Tried pip uninstall protobuf but that caused a similar error:
Uninstalling protobuf-3.10.0:

I have no idea how to fix this other than deleting the whole environment and start again.
