I am new to Python, just installed Python 3.9.1 and PyCharm IDE community edition (I have a license for IntelliJ).
I created my first project "Hello World" program in a project name "test1" which has 1 file main.py:
print("Hello World")
input()
I opened a command-line (cmd.exe) with Administrator permissions and run pip install pyinstaller to install pyInstaller, then navigated to my project d:\development\PyCharmProjects\pythonProject\test1 and run pyinstaller main.py build to create and executable file (main.exe).
The building FAILS with PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'D:\\development\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject\\test1\\build'
here is the log of the build:

- pyinstaller 4.2

PermissionError: [Errno 13] in python

I tried to do it without the build, and the executable main.exe was created, but when I run it I get another error:
What am I doing wrong? Am I creating the executable correctly? I would appreciate any assistance.
