I'm having trouble to install pyinstaller: - windows - visual code - platform IO - python 3.7

pip install pyinstaller give the following error: Collecting pyinstaller Using cached https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/3c/c9/c3f9bc64eb11eee6a824686deba6129884c8cbdf70e750661773b9865ee0/PyInstaller-3.6.tar.gz ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\Users\NICK~1.VER\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-unpack-fd9vckxm\PyInstaller-3.6.tar.gz' Check the permissions.

You need to run the command as Administrator. Currently you don't have privilege to download to your Temp appdata folder presumably due to running it before as Administrator
