I am having problems installing tensorflow on Mac. My MacOS is High Sierra 10.13.3. I have python 2.7, pip 9.0.1. I have typed the following:

sudo easy_install --upgrade pip
sudo easy_install --upgrade six
pip install tensorflow. 

And the error I get is the following. Any help would be greatly appreciated:

Installing collected packages: mock, enum34, backports.weakref, numpy, wheel, absl-py, protobuf, futures, html5lib, bleach, werkzeug, markdown, tensorflow-tensorboard, tensorflow

The error you are getting:

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mock'

Permission denied mostly means you need to retry with sudo

sudo pip install tensorflow
