How do obtain permissions to install packages for Anaconda3 on Windows 10?

I am trying to install cherrypy for anaconda3, using the following page's commands https://anaconda.org/anaconda/cherrypy, but am getting the following error message,

enter image description here

The operating system I am using is Windows 10 and I have checked that I have administrator privileges with my login. Moreover I installed anaconda for all users and have checked that all mmy logins can modify the C:\Program Files\Anaconda3 folder.

What should I do?

Right-click on "Start" button and choose "Command Prompt (Admin)" instead of "Command Prompt". Then run your install command.
