I have an account on a machine with a specific envirnoment, I want to install packages such as Keras and NLTK.

pip install keras

But I have the following error:

Installing collected packages: pyyaml, scipy, keras Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/user/virt_env/lib/python3.5/site-packages/PyYAML-3.13.dist-info' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

I've tried --user option and not solved

Can not perform a '--user' install. User site-packages are not visible in this virtualenv.

I've tried

python3 -m pip install keras

Also, the same error!

I've contacted the machine admin and he told me he allowed me those permissions. So, how to solve it?

Thanks,

Did you create the virtualenv using sudo? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19471972/how-to-avoid-permission-denied-when-using-pip-with-virtualenv – Juliano S Assine Feb 19 '19 at 16:01
^ agreed, it is frowned upon but just to test that out try a sudo -U pip install keras --user – Theodore Howell Feb 19 '19 at 16:12
@JulianoSAssine yes! I didn't know if the admin created the enviroment with sudo or not. But I tried the suggestion in the link and worked! Thanks – userInThisWorld Feb 19 '19 at 16:39
@TheodoreHowell I've tried it but did'nt work. – userInThisWorld Feb 19 '19 at 16:40

@userInThisWorld I'm glad it worked. I think this should be marked as a duplicate in this case. – Juliano S Assine Feb 20 '19 at 17:21
