Permission denied error when trying to install pip in Mac OS X Lion

Question

I\'m trying to install pip on a Mac (OS X Lion). It doesn\'t seem to work. I use sudo and prompted for password.

$ sudo curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/         


        

Answer 1

Might be because you don't have permission to python folder. Please try this, it worked for me.

• $ sudo chown -R $USER /Library/Python/2.7
