Installing joblib error in Python

Question

I have been getting this error when I try to install joblib. How do I get around it?

joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_01.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
copying joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_02.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
copying joblib/test/data/joblib_0.9.4.dev0_compressed_cache_size_pickle_py35_np19.gz_03.npy.z -> build/lib/joblib/test/data
running install_lib

perform it with sudo if you are using Linux or OSX. In case of windows, run it in elevated command prompt — be_good_do_good

if you installed that on Mac/Linux from pip do sudo pip install joblib — user1767754

Thinking you to be present on a linux platform try sudo pip install joblibbecause the /Library folder needs root permission to be accessed.
