I am trying to install some Python packages using pip.

pip install transformers torch flask nltk flask_cors pyttsx3 vosk SpeechRecognition

Every time I try to install the packages, I get an OSError.

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an OSError: [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified: 'C:\\Python312\\Scripts\\normalizer.exe' -> 'C:\\Python312\\Scripts\\normalizer.exe.deleteme'

• terminal
• pip
• package

• Most answers at stackoverflow.com/search?q=%5Bpip%5D+deleteme suggest to run terminal as Admin or add option --user: pip install --user transformers torch flask nltk flask_cors pyttsx3 vosk SpeechRecognition – phd Commented Feb 5 at 14:35

I have experienced the same problem, and this worked for me:

• Right-click on your terminal
• Select "Run as Administrator"
• Run pip install <your-python-packages>

This should install all the packages using pip. Another thing you could do is to update pip by running:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
