Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pyasn1/error.py'
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

You are trying to install the package to a system folder which you don't have permissions to write to.
You have three options(use only one of them):
1-setup a virtual env to install the package (recommended):

python3 -m venv env
source ./env/bin/activate 
python -m pip install google-assistant-sdk[samples]

2-Install the package to the user folder:
python -m pip install --user google-assistant-sdk[samples]

3-use sudo to install to the system folder (not recommended)
sudo python -m pip install google-assistant-sdk[samples]

Any help!!
Thanks

[WV-no7]

That error is usually because of user permission stuff.Just use "pip install --user numpy". That should work. In case it doesn't then Try using "sudo" before the command. @omarjnb

On Windows server. Open the command prompt by "Run as Administrator" and try again.

I am trying to install face_recognition in jupyter terminal in Anaconda Navigator, using python 2.7
I used the command:
pip install face_recognition
Then it is showing that :

Requirement already satisfied: face_recognition in ./anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages

But when I run :
import face_recognition
it is showing that :

ImportError: No module named face_recognition

Then I checked the Face Recognition Installation Documentation:

From there I got the command pip2 install face_recognition
when i tried that I got the error:

[PatelTixa15]

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '/home/priyanka/.local/lib'

answer this error?

[Fleker]

@PatelTixa15 you need to look at your storage size. There seems to be too many files, and there's no room left for what you're trying to install.

[PatelTixa15]

okay
but how to transfer all data from one disk to another in ubuntu. like from home directory to any other directory .bcaz all data save by default in home directory.

[Fleker]

There's probably some files on your system that you can move over, like in your home directory. You can use a terminal or a file explorer app. If you have further questions, please make a new issue.

Could be a path error as well
check your path and the packages installed

[areebsyed]

You are trying to install the package to a system folder which you don't have permissions to write to.
You have three options(use only one of them):
1-setup a virtual env to install the package (recommended):

python3 -m venv env
source ./env/bin/activate 
python -m pip install google-assistant-sdk[samples]

2-Install the package to the user folder:
python -m pip install --user google-assistant-sdk[samples]

3-use sudo to install to the system folder (not recommended)
sudo python -m pip install google-assistant-sdk[samples]

Why is sudo option not recommended?

I know it has been 2 years, but is it possible for me to use the first option if I already have the venv activated?
