Windows OS setup.py install error

[horjuel1]

Hi, I have cloned all the Pycogaps files and can see them in the directory, however I keep running into this permissions issue. I have tried to run as administrator too but still run into the same error.

C:\Users\hoorj\Desktop\pycogaps>python3 setup.py install

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:

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

hi @horjuel1, do you have write access in the mentioned dir with administrator's account? have you tried installing with --user flags?
