Issue

I tried to install pyodbc manually which I tried to install it with command 'python setup.py install'after I downloaded the codes, and tried to excuse it on windows terminals with administrator privileges, it doesn't work, it always say "Permission denied", I totally have no clues

D:\opensourcelibrary\python\pyodbc-master>python setup.py install fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git WARNING: git describe failed with: 128 WARNING: Unable to determine version.

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the installation directory:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.1264.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\\Lib\\site-packages\\test-easy-install-7464.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.1264.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\site-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.pypa.io/en/latest/deprecated/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

That is an unusual place to install Python, check that you have write access to it? You can try installing somewhere else too.
