OSError: [Errno13]

Question

I am trying to install "pip" in my laptop run by Windows 10 OS by typing pip install notebook in the command line interface, however I come across the following error message at the end of the installation process:

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Python311\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

Is there anything I can do to overcome this issue? Thanks in advance for any help that can be provided.

Looking for some possible solutions on the inte.net I tried running the following with the outcomes shown below:

C:\> chown alberto:alberto python311

which gives:

'chown' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

C:\>chmod 775 Python311

which gives:

'chmod' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Answer 1

Try running the command line as an administrator.
