Installing joblib error in Python

Question

I have been getting this error when I try to install joblib. How do I get around it?

joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_01.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
copying joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_02.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
copying joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_03.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
running install_lib

``Permission denied`` -> do what you want to do with a user who has permission to do it — Mike Scotty, Jun 27 '17 at 06:28
perform it with `sudo` if you are using Linux or OSX. In case of windows, run it in elevated command prompt — be_good_do_good, Jun 27 '17 at 06:29
if you installed that on Mac/Linux from pip do `sudo pip install joblib` — user1767754, Jun 27 '17 at 06:29

Thinking you to be present on a linux platform try sudo pip install joblibbecause the /Library folder needs root permission to be accessed.
