If you execute your script with administrator permissions it will work:

sudo pip3 install pocketsphinx

At the moment the OS is not giving you the permission to access that location (ie dist-packages).

You will need to input your password for it to run as well.

You can learn what sudo does here .

I also prefer to use python3 -m at the from to avoid the multiple pips getting mixed up.

For example:

sudo python36 -m pip install pocketsphinx

As long as you know which interpreter to bring up it will not mix up the different pip commands.
