plugin won't install – any ideas?

I’ve tried to install the plugin into my wordpress.org backend three times now, and I have gotten the same error message each time:

==

Downloading install package from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/wordfence.6.0.22.zip…

Unpacking the package…

Could not create directory.

Return to Plugin Installer

I can’t tell what the problem is. I have other plugins, so directories should not be an issue. Any ideas? Has there been any reported cases of installation error due to a conflict between Wordfence and an already installed plugin?

Thanks in advance.
