No it isn't. Stop advising the use of `sudo`! [See here for why and what to do instead](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31512422/pip-install-r-oserror-errno-13-permission-denied/42021993#42021993) – bert Nov 07 '17 at 12:17

Run the install command with elevated privileges.

sudo pip install bs4

Stop advising the use of `sudo` for `pip install`. It's dangerous and irresponsible. [See here for why and what to do instead](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31512422/pip-install-r-oserror-errno-13-permission-denied/42021993#42021993) – bert Nov 07 '17 at 12:18
