# The error `save.not-writable`

**environment**: something the run needs is missing or different where it runs (a package, a file, a device, the network): the error names what to install, fetch or attach.

Where MIME gives it, with what its message says happened and what its action says to do (`{…}` is filled in from the experiment):

- in `mime/experiment/_experiment.py`:
  - what happened: `cannot write the saved experiment into {…}: {…}: {…}`
  - what to do: `save it where you can write: built.save(folder) with a folder of yours (one you own, on a disk with room)`
