pip install - PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Environment

Issue

When I do pip install sklearn --upgrade, I got the following error:

Exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pip\basecommand.py", line 209, in main
    status = self.run(options, args)

    with open(dst, 'wb') as fdst:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'd:\\anaconda3\\Lib\\site-packages\\sklearn\\utils\\m
urmurhash.cp35-win_amd64.pyd'

The command prompt is run as an Administrator, so I have the permission.

What should I do? Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Here is what I did to solve this exact problem on my Windows 10 pc with Anaconda Python 3.6 installed:

  • open an Anaconda prompt window as administrator
  • pip uninstall kivy
  • pip install kivy
  • pip install docutils pygments pypiwin32 kivy.deps.sdl2

Have you installed its dependencies like numpy and scipy? Check it out and then we will proceed further.

Final Solution: try conda like conda install scikit-learn=_version_
