The EnvironmentError is caused by Windows. I suspect that it is connected with the path length limit of 256 characters imposed by Windows. I suggest you select a shorted path for the virtual environment. Following is an example. python -m venv c:\users\tamer\eric_venv c:\users\tamer\eric_venv\scripts\python.exe -m pip install eric-ide

The screencapture tells exactly what is wrong on your system. You are missing write permission to the directory you want to install eric6. In this situation I am recommending to create a Python virtual environment and to install eric6 there. The eric web site gives more details.
