So I am trying to download the Interactive Brokers API for python. I have downloaded the api as the website instructs, then I have gone to source, python client, then when I open the setup python file, the file will open to a small black screen then immediately close. I am using python 3.8. Any one have any ideas as to why this is happening (I have added the error I am receiving now bellow)? Thanks
EDIT: When I typed "C:\TWS API\source\pythonclient" into the comand prompt, and then python setup.py install, I get the error:
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'C:\\Program Files\\WindowsApps\\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.2288.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\\Lib\\site-packages\\test-easy-install-13760.write-test'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.7_3.7.2288.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\Lib\site-packages\
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
