Error while trying to install pandas through pip through pycharm

After I entered the command: pip install pandas
on the pycharm terminal, I got the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Users\\User\\A
ppData\\Local\\Temp\\pip-req-tracker-7q66q0yu\\6db4818fba87cd56fb7ea2ff3e7b500fdbaefe4fef5779e374622b60'
Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I would be grateful if I could get help in fixing this error.

You need to run the command prompt or terminal as an administrator. This will give you permission to install packages. And also you need to upgrade pip to the latest version - python -m pip install –upgrade pip in cmd or terminal.
And If this does not work for you then, you can try pip install --user pygame.
I got this from this post

I cannot install module with pip

After installing python 3.8, I cannot install module with pip:
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/enum34-1.1.10.dist-info'
Check the permissions.

Try to use sudo in the beginning of the command if you are in linux. Maybe you are bot using the system as a root

Add --user at the end
pip3 install package_name --user

I would try to use anaconda with the following command in the terminal:
conda install -c anaconda pip
If you don't have anaconda:
pip install conda

Pip not installing packages without --user on my own laptop

Recently I messed up my steady environment by installing multiple versions of python.
What I'm trying to do: install a particular package using pip
pip cannot install any package without the --user tag
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13 Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/PIL
Here's More information:
which pip
/usr/local/bin/pip
which python
/usr/bin/python
What should I do?

Use sudo or su to install packages system-wide.

Access is denied when trying to pip install a package on Windows

How to set path for python 3.7.0?
I tried the every possible way but it still shows the error!
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5]
Access is denied: 'c:\program files (x86)\python37-32\lib\site-packages\pip-10.0.1.dist-info\entry_points.txt'
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions

Add --user to the command.
eg:
pip install -r requirements.txt --user

Append the --user modifier to your command as suggested in the error.
--user makes pip install packages in your home directory instead, which doesn't require any special privileges.
More: What is the purpose "pip install --user ..."?

Run your command Prompt on Admin-Mode in Windows,it will stop throwing errors for user-rights.
Steps:
On Windows, type "Cmd" on searchbox to search for command prompt.
When "Command Prompt" search result appears,right-click>Run as Administrator.

You can add --user in the end of your command. This works well in my case!
--user
My example:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip --user

Just try on Administrator cmd
pip install --user numpy

Run your command prompt on admin mode.
type :
cd\
then type:
cd [Your python location path]
on mycomputer it's:
cd C:\Users\hp\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
then type:
python -m pip install --upgrade pip
You can follow this guide~

I had the same problem.
After installing Python for all the users, wanted to install Django.
For that I've gone to the Command Prompt (without using Admin mode) and
pip.exe install django==2.2
This prompted the following message
Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [WinError 5]
Access is denied: 'c:\program
files\python37\lib\site-packages\pip-19.0.3.dist-info\entry_points.txt'
Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.
The way I've used to solve it was to add --user in the end of the command, just like the prompt message suggests («Consider using the --user»).
pip.exe install django==2.2 --user
Then everything worked fine.

The question was for windows but if any linux users that stumbled here (like me) : Permission Error Persists by adding --user in my virtualenv on Ubuntu 19 when I want to generate requirements.txt. Also, I can't pip install --user as well since I'm in an virtualenv. My solution was just using sudo pip3 install pipreqs to install another pipreqs for super user.

I wanted to throw an answer out here because I've been against a rock wall since upgrading to python 3.18. Pip install stopped working with a module error which was rectified with py -m pip install --user. but I would still get this permissions error. I uninstalled, reinstalled, and downgraded Python and Pip. I ran command prompt as administrator. None of it worked.
The only thing that worked was to pip download and then pip install the package from my c:/ drive. Totally BS workaround, but if you'r as stuck as I was it works.
