Please how can I change permissions in GCP debian VM. I have this error permission denied [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/google_vm_config.lock'

I’m running miniconda on GCP debian DeepLearning VM.

I’m basically trying to run this:

 embed_model = HuggingFaceEmbeddings(
    model_name=embed_model_id,
    model_kwargs={'device': device},
    encode_kwargs={'device': device, 'batch_size': 32}
)

and have this error:

permission denied [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/root/google_vm_config.lock'

google my ass out. check other stackoverflow questions.
