How to install 'pymprog'? Python 3.7

Question

I'm trying to install pymprog (Python 3.7) and I get the following message :

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'c:\\program files\\python37\\Lib\\site-packages\\swiglpk'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.

Any ideas?

Did you at least try what the error message is telling you? Add `--user` or check the permissions ?? — Gino Mempin, Dec 19 '19 at 04:57

Try running pip as super user, if your on Linux you'll start the command with sudo. If on Windows, open terminal as admin.

this happens when you do not have permission to your program files folder (probably restricted by your admin or super user). adding the --user option while installing would fix the problem by installing python under your user folder instead. Hope that helps
