I am using python 2.7, 32 bit on windows 10, 64 bit. Whenever I try to install psychopy module by doing pip install psychopy, I am getting below mentioned error. I am not able to understand what is the problem. I have also made changes in environmental variable to set anconda bin and anaconda scripts as highest priority. I am running same program for last 8 months and never got any kind of problem. I am trying to install everything in new PC and getting this kind of error in my old and new PC. How can fix this problem?

Looks like your user doesn't have the permission to install packages in your system (for all users). Here's how to fix this problem:
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:
Run This Program As An Administrator option.pip install <package>
