Question

I\'m deploying a Django app to a dev server and am hitting this error when I run pip install -r requirements.txt:

Traceback (most recent call la         


        

Answer 1

I had this problem when I had activated my virtualenv as a different user than the one who created it. It seems to be a permission problem. I discovered this when I tried the answer by @cwc and saw this in the output:

Installing easy_install script to /path/env/bin
error: /path/env/bin/easy_install: Permission denied

Switching back to the user that created the virtualenv, then running the original pip install command went without problems. Hope this helps!
