2. Environments

  • Python 3.7 system default

3. Solution and Code

Try run pip with –target to specify the python site-packages directory.

pip install --target=/usr/local/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages conan

If you still get the following error:

WARNING: Target directory /usr/local/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/Jinja2-2.10.1.dist-info already exists. Specify --upgrade to force replacement.
WARNING: Target directory /usr/local/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/dateutil already exists. Specify --upgrade to force replacement.

You can run pip install as follows:

pip install --target=/usr/local/python3/lib/python3.7/site-packages --upgrade conan

You would get this:
