Can't install for non-admin user
Getting this error when trying to pip install -e .
:
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\\Lib\\site-packages\\test-easy-install-15864.write-test'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.752.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\site-packages\
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/easy_install.html
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
I could install it from admin account, but then I still wouldn't be able to access it from the account I'm normally using.
Edit: same issue when trying to install as admin, actually.
I don't think I can do much here honestly, don't know much about setting up Python.
Sounds like either an issue with one of the packages used by PyPoE or with your Python installation.
