Answer 1

As others have pointed out you need to run the command with admin privileges.

How to do this varies by windows version, but on Windows 8 and 10 you can just press Windows+X (or just right-clicking the Start button). On the menu, choose “Command Prompt (Admin).”

Answer 2

The command line you're using does not have access to C:\\Program Files\\Python35\\Lib\\site-packages\\six.py.

Run the command in a command line with administrative priveleges.
