Question:
This is the error when I try to get anything with pip3
I’m not sure what to do
Exception:

Answers:
You need to use sudo
to install globally or have permissions to write to the folder. Or as @Alasdair commented using a virtualenv is a better option.
just install them using –user option which install the package only for the current user and not for all
pip install xxxxxx --user
use –user at last of your install command, so that the package will be installed only for the current user, not for all.
pip install xxxxxx --user
or
pip3 install xxxxxx --user
pip3 install --user <package_name>
No need to write your username in place of –user.
