Python Error with Installing Packages

[taylormgruendel]

Hi all,

I used to be able to run my Python script, but now I'm receiving the following error - 

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5] Access is denied: 'C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Roaming\\Python\\Python38\\site-packages\\wrapt\\_wrappers.cp38-win_amd64.pyd'
Check the permissions.

I'm using the code below to install my packages (I should have admin permissions). I tried removing the install_type but I end up getting an error to add --user back to the code. 

Alteryx.installPackages(package="PyGithub", install_type="install --user") 

Should I reach out to IT on this issue? Or is there a workaround?

Look forward to your thoughts. Thanks!

Check the link above.  If you're installing packages on your PC that link should help.
