Permission denied when installing mlxtend (Python 3)

Question

I am trying to install the python library mlxtend for machine learning purposes. I have tried several solutions, including:

pip install mlxtend
easy_install mlxtend

I also have read all the threads r regarding similar errors with no success. When I execute all this, the setup.py fails.

When I finally try to execute the setup.py that I downloaded directly from the library zip (I opened the cmd in the library unzipped window), I got this error message:

I use Python 3 in windows. Can anyone help me? I am thoroughly stuck on this issue.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Yes I do. This is my personal computer and I only have one user in it. Any guess? — Gabriela M, Mar 28 '17 at 02:30
When opening command prompt, `right click` it and `Run as administrator`. — mondieki, Mar 28 '17 at 02:47
