I'm using Amazon Linux. I would like to install a python package to my home directory, as I don't have sudo access to the machine I'm running on. However, when I attempt to use the --prefix option, I'm getting this error
(OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib64/python2.6/dist-packages/ordereddict-1.2-py2.6.egg-info').
Is there anything I can do to install the package in my home directory?
pip install --install-option="--prefix=/home/myuser" awscli
DEPRECATION: Python 2.6 is no longer supported by the Python core team, please upgrade your Python. A future version of pip will drop support for Python 2.6
