Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/~ip-19.0.1.dist-info/METADATA'
I am getting this error each time I am trying to install a package using pip3 for python3.7 in macOS(Mojave). The file resides in the directory but it still says no such file.
I have tried solutions that I found on stackoverflow. I have tried using sudo; --user; uninstalling and installing six like :
sudo pip3 install pandas
sudo -H pip3 install --user virtualenv
pip3 install pandas --no-cache-dir
pip3 install --force-reinstall -U --no-binary :all: six
None of the above proved to be useful.Each of these gave the same error. I am not able to setup python properly due to these issues.
This is the stack of my tries and their result.
