All,
I am having issues using PIP to install any packages on my windows 8.1 pc. I have Python 3.4 installed and pip comes with it. pip prompts me to upgrade to the latest version when I try to use it. However, I encounter the same ‘Permission Denied’ error when trying to upgrade pip. Have searched a little the stock response to the problem is that I need to run the program as Administrator to resolve it, problem is that my account has Aministrator rights and it still does not work.
I have logged and downloaded the following with the -v --log flags on the command line.
Would really appreciate it if there is an answer to this, as it is frustrating my attempts to download and install some interesting new python packages.
many thanks
