python3 setup.py install

Dear,

I have an issue when running python3 setup.py install. Could you help me check it ? Thank you so much !

Torch was not built with CUDA support, not building warp-ctc GPU extensions. 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-3934.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.

use sudo

add write permission to '/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/': sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/

sudo is a bad option. You'd better change owner of dist-packages to your user (worked for me):

cd usr/local/lib/python3.6
sudo chown $USER dist-packages/

Don't forget to change owner back, after you do your dirty things:

sudo chown root dist-packages/
