# ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:

Often times, users customize their environments to tailor their analytic needs. Package installation on the docker file is the most common path a user takes.

But , during the package installation process users sometimes encounter an error :

```
ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
```

followed by the package name. This usually indicates you lack the necessary permissions to continue the install.

Luckily fixing the error can be simple. Just try installing the package by adding '**--user**' option.

```
 ! pip install (package) --user
```
