Welcome to SO

The file permissions are preventing your current user to install it, and as described in the error message you can reach it by adding --user <username> to your command, when <username> is the one owning the decorator.py file.

Run ls -l /path/to/decorator.py to find out the username.

You can try prefixing your command with sudo to run as the root user that probably has permission, but usually, that's overkill and unrecommended.
