so far I've tried two ways to install setuptools 19.2 for python2.7 on my mac following this instruction, but i keep getting an error that says:
Downloading https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-19.2.zip
Extracting in /tmp/tmpY063sV
Now working in /tmp/tmpY063sV/setuptools-19.2
Installing Setuptools
running install
Checking .pth file support in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-5577.pth'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
https://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
Something went wrong during the installation.
See the error message above.
so I tried the other way curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python and still got the same error. so according to this response, there's something to do with the directory in which i put my ez_setup.py? or is there something else thats playing here?
updated:
got the error with sudo and sudo !! command
also tried sudo chown -R $USER /Library/Python/2.7 and then install it, got the following message:
