pip安装tweepy错误

Question

When I try to install tweepy using pip (pip install tweepy) I get the below error on my mac (10.12.3). Please help.

OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/folders/s0/0j_bp8b96bl2mzltwxnc56300000gn/T/pip-9zf_EM-uninstall/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six-1.4.1-py2.7.egg-info

Answer 1

You haven't given the program permissions to edit this. You probably have to be the administrator to do it, or run the program as an administrator. It fails because it doesn't have permissions. Putting sudo before the command might work.

Answer 2

Thanks all for your response! It looks like an issue with pip. Have successfully install using sudo pip install tweepy --user.
