Access is denied when trying to pip install a package on Windows

How to set path for python 3.7.0? I tried the every possible way but it still shows the error!

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5]

Access is denied: 'c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\lib\site-packages\pip-10.0.1.dist-info\entry_points.txt'

Consider using the --user option or check the permissions

Solution 1:

Add --user to the command.

eg:

pip install -r requirements.txt --user

Solution 2:

Run your command Prompt on Admin-Mode in Windows,it will stop throwing errors for user-rights.

Steps:

1. On Windows, type "Cmd" on searchbox to search for command prompt.

2. When "Command Prompt" search result appears,right-click>Run as Administrator.
