windows permission error running uvicorn in command prompt

Question

So, I am newbie. I have Anaconda. I used CMD.exe (available in navigator) to install uvicorn and fastapi as given in official tutorial. then did as given in first steps. But output is not as expected. Output is

←[32mINFO←[0m:     Uvicorn running on ←[1mhttp://127.0.0.1:8000←[0m (Press CTRL+C to quit)
