Downloading HDP on Windows 10 Git Bash error

[#1]

I'm downloading HDK on Windows 10. I have made sure I have all the system requirements and software installed. I have also changed my local host name to sandbox.hortonworks.com on my note pad as an administrator. On the second step where it asks me to enter echo '{Host-Name} sandbox.hortonworks.com' | tee -a /c/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc/hosts in my Git Bash I receive a a "Permission Denied" prompt. I've checked my firewall settings as well and I cant seem to troubleshoot this myself. Any help is thoroughly appreciated.

Can you please let us know exactly when you are getting "permission Denied" error.

It will be really great if you can share the screenshot of the error or the complete screenshot.

Can you please try any of the following approach? 1. Try using the command with "sudo" as following:

echo'{Host-Name} sandbox.hortonworks.com'| sudo tee -a /c/Windows/System32/Drivers/etc/hosts

(OR)

2. Manually Edit the file without using command. - Open "Notepad" on Windows by right clicking on the Notepad and select 'Run as Administrator'

- Open the file "c:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts"

- Add the hostname in the following format -

  {Host-Name} sandbox.hortonworks.com

- Save the changes and try again.

(OR)

3. Try opening the "Git Bash" in 'Run as Administrator' mode and then run the commands.

I ran my Git Bash as an Administrator and it has accepted the original prompt. Thank you for your help. On to the next step!
