Hi Pascal-bucketbreaker,

Can you verify that you are installing deepcell>=0.12.0?

Generally we recommend that you use deepcell out of a docker container as we cannot ensure support for all operating systems. There are instructions in the readme for how to get started with docker.

I too had this error when trying to pip install to a Linux VM. I fixed it by finding the C++ compiler path, "gcc" and then specifying that path during the pip install. The default pip install was trying to take a gcc from a different path and said my permission was denied to it. You'd have to adapt the solution for Windows, but this did the trick for me:

$ which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

$ PATH=/usr/bin:$PATH pip install deepcell
