Try to use sudo when installing.

is it possible to resolve this issue without sudo. asking because i am trying to install it in a workspace computer without sudo access

Seems like if you set ‘TMPDIR‘ in your shell to a directory you can access without sudo it would work. Note, that even if you get Magnitude to install it uses the temporary directory a lot at run time, so you will need to set this variable every time it the shell in which you run Magnitude. I would recommend adding it to your bashrc file.

Had the same permissions during installation, but created a workaround for this. The error is on L178 of setup.py. Use cwd instead of the temp dir, which requires permission to access, and install from source

Try installing from this fork. git clone --single-branch --branch mag_install https://github.com/sid-sundrani/magnitude and run pip install .
