Installation error on Fedora Server 25

$ pyvenv-3.5 . returns Error 13 permission denied, I am not a Linux user and have no knowledge of how to resolve this error. Most of what I see on Google appears to require some Linux experience.

Windows 10 Hyper-v guest w/fedora Server 25
Using instructions for fedora (https://home-assistant.io/docs/installation/fedora/)

Is there a more user friendly distro that I should use?
Thanks,
