OSError: [Errno 30] Read-only file system: '/glob/intel-python/versions/2018u2/intelpython3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/docs'

[r_0_h_1_t]

I am unable to install packages in my intel dev cloud. I tried installing packages using pip from bash shell. I also created a new conda environment and tried installing packages there. It didn't work either. I think the problem is with permissions in file system. The error says "read-only file system" as you can see.

P.S: I am trying to install keras and sklearn

please check the error log below.

Hey

This is because you are trying to install to the package to the python present in /glob.  This python is common to all devcloud users. You should be using --user flag to install the package specific only to your user 

eg

pip install Keras --user

Hope this helps
