Error messages while doing pip install psychopy on Windows

Question

I am getting this kind of messages (image in attachment) while installing psychopy module in anaconda spyder 2.7 64 bit. I never got this kind of instructions before and I think because of that I am getting this sorts of error while running the code

from pyglet.window import key: ImportError: cannot import name key

cannot import name logging

NameError: name ‘PUINT’ is not defined

If some one can share information to avoid this problems, would be really helpful.

Traceback:

Answer 1

Your problem

Looks like your user doesn't have the permission to install packages in your system (for all users).

Solution

From the Command Prompt, you can install the package for your user only, like this:

pip install <package> --user

OR

You can install the package as Administrator, by following these steps:

1. Run the Command Prompt as Administrator, using the Run This Program As An Administrator option.
2. Run the command pip install <package>
