How can I fix this issue?

Answer 1

Operation not permitted could be due to either a permissions issue or a path length limit issue, off the top of me head.

I would go much higher in the directory structure (closer to root), create a virtual environment, and attempt to install pandas in that environment. If that works, then you know that inherited characteristics of your overarching python/pip installations and permissions are okay, making it likely a host OS issue (like the aforementioned path length limit). If it doesn't work, then some more digging will be required. Either way, this virtual environment can be removed after its creation has been tested.

Here is a link on creating virtual environments to get you started.

Answer 2

try: pip install pandas --user sorry, would of commented it but I can't
