[SOLVED] Error when downloading CoreML file from IBM Watson

Issue

I want to get the CoreML File in order to integrate it with my project. I am using curl and following the API documentation from IBM Cloud linked below.

https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/visual-recognition/visual-recognition-v3#authentication

I enter the following command:

curl -u "apikey:NRDjngCby2d-pSHOPyWQJxhuB6vOY2uOTCX6KV2BCfwB" --output CompostxLandfillxRecycle_2056123069.mlmodel "https://api.us-south.visual-recognition.watson.cloud.ibm.com/v3/classifiers/CompostxLandfillxRecycle_2056123069/core_ml_model?version=2018-03-19"

Returns:

Solution

Could it be that the location where you are running the command is a write protected directory or that existing file is protected?

cd to your home directory, and then try the curl command again.
