  • Operating System: ubuntu linux
    hello
    i followed this commands in this link
    but when it comes to the command : python3 setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS
    rawan@rawan:~/dlib$ python3 setup.py install --yes USE_AVX_INSTRUCTIONS

it gives me this error

running install
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: '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/test-easy-install-3065.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-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.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
