Kindly guide me with this.

@ishikasingh You could try using sudo with pip install - so your command becomes sudo pip install --upgrade numpy.

Otherwise - I'd recommend a full re-install inside a virtualenv.

That is creating same permission problem again, but ignoring the previously installed numpy worked! The code is pip install numpy --user -U

Thanks Parth! Ishika I'm guessing you're using a Mac? Mac comes with preinstalled Python and doesn't let you make changes to it. I recommend the --user way v/s using sudo (you will have also have to make sure your local Python path is added to your sys path)
