[SOLVED] Enabling Write Permission for Windows Folder

I'm running Arch with Gnome installed of a USB stick and would like to be able to gain write permission to my Windows 10 partition so that I could edit and save certain files. At the moment I am able to access everything in the Windows folder but only with read permission. I've attempted to follow:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NTFS-3G
http://askubuntu.com/questions/340514/m … -in-ubuntu

When I attempt to type in the first command :

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /mnt

I keep getting  bash: ntfs-3g: command not found

Is there a way that I could access that drive and make changes?

Hello!

Welcome to Arch linux l_obara!

Did you install the ntfs-3g package?
