Problem while initializing the repo [Errno 13] Permission denied [duplicate]

Question

I have a problem. I tried initial repo (https://github.com/AOSPA/manifest -b quartz), but I can't because I have a error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/wojciech/WORKSPACE/.repo/repo/main.py", line 49, in import event_log File "/home/wojciech/WORKSPACE/.repo/repo/event_log.py", line 167, in _EVENT_ID = multiprocessing.Value('i', 1) File "/snap/git-repo/18/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/init.py", line 253, in Value return Value(typecode_or_type, *args, **kwds) File "/snap/git-repo/18/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/sharedctypes.py", line 108, in Value lock = RLock() File "/snap/git-repo/18/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/init.py", line 183, in RLock return RLock() File "/snap/git-repo/18/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/synchronize.py", line 172, in init SemLock.init(self, RECURSIVE_MUTEX, 1, 1) File "/snap/git-repo/18/usr/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/synchronize.py", line 75, in init sl = self._semlock = _multiprocessing.SemLock(kind, value, maxvalue) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Thanks for help

To be honest, most of my "permission denied" errors are resolved by running cmd as administrator. Try right click on cmd and choose "Run as administrator". If you're trying to create repo through IDE, try running it as administrator as well :)

On Linux, as you are on, add sudo at the start of the command.
