python setup.py install not working in Windows due to admin?


I tried to run python setup.py install in Windows cmd, but got this error. In MAC I just change to sudo python setup.py install, but in Windows not suod. I tried runas also not working. I also tried python setup.py install --user the installation didn't report error but the function did not work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

    C:\Users\ccc\Desktop\pyrbdome-master>python setup.py install
Python development and setuptools have been installed...
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.496.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\\Lib\\site-packages\\test-easy-install-2820.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.9_3.9.496.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\site-packages\

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

Solution

  • The problems is the package I need to install requires Linux enviroment. So I have to run it by Ubuntu or Linux server. Windonws dose not work in any way. Hope can help!
