PermissionError encoding/lib/cpu/lock

• Installing system-wide Pytorch-Encoding I got the next error.
• Commands

sudo -H pip3 install --upgrade --no-cache-dir torch-encoding python3 >>> import torch >>> import encoding

If you need more information please let me know it.

I see the problem. It is because you were using ‘sudo pip install’ and the files are post compiled after installation.

1. A hacky way you can try is writing a file hacky.py with import encoding, and run

sudo python hacky.py

1. The best way to do it is to install with anaconda without sudo command
