installing a new package in python 3.6

I'm trying to install a new module as explained in: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/InstallingNewModules/ However, when I run

pip3.6 install --user gmaps

I get: "PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/aduarte/.local/bin/ipython3' "

Would you please advise? Thank you.

Try deleting /home/aduarte/.local/bin/ipython3. It's just a symlink to help with finding a default Python 3 version. I have no idea why gmaps is trying to mess with it, though. Another option may be to try it in a virtualenv.

Deleting the symlink worked. Thank you, Glenn.
