I am trying ton install httplib2 using python. I have both versions of python2.7.10 and python3.7.3

I have tried : pip install httplib2

It returns an error:

ERROR: Complete output from command /usr/bin/python -u -c 'import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='"'"'

 ERROR: running install
    running build
    running build_py
    creating build

    creating build/lib/httplib2
    copying python2/httplib2/iri2uri.py -> build/lib/httplib2
    copying python2/httplib2/certs.py -> build/lib/httplib2

    running install_lib
    creating /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/httplib2
    error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/httplib2': Permission denied

How do I correctly install httplib2 using python? Why does it say "permission denied"?
