$ python3 setup.py install 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.3.10_3.10.1520.0_x64__qbz5n2kfra8p0\\Lib\\site-packages\\test-easy-install-7296.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or the distutils default setting) was:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PythonSoftwareFoundation.Python.3.10_3.10.1520.0_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:

https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/deprecated/easy_install.html

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

Perhaps try running command prompt as administrator then run the commands.
