i was trying to install tensorflow-gpu on my pycharm (pip install tensorflow-gpu), but unfortunately im getting a Error Message. How can i install this package on my pycharm? What is wrong here? Should i install it directly with cmd? How can I install them with pycharm? However, I was able to install the tenserflow Version 2.5.0 without any problems. Only the Tenserflow gpu I cannot install. Im using python Version 3.7.9

You need to run the command prompt or terminal as an administrator. This will permit you to install packages. And also, you need to upgrade pip to the latest version - python -m pip install –-upgrade pip in cmd or terminal.

    That didn't work for me. I opened Windows Terminal as an administrator and ran the above command and still got the same error message. Any thoughts? – Joerg Jan 11 '22 at 10:13

    I also was not able to install a package using cmd even with admin rights. However I tried to delete the file mentioned by pip and Windows reported the file was already open in Python. I realized I had Pycharm opened and closing the IDE allowed me to proceed with the install. – Logic1 Aug 25 '22 at 08:29
  • I had same issue and error when installing packages in Anaconda. Running Anaconda command prompt as an administrator solved the issue for me. – kraftwerk Oct 07 '22 at 21:29
