Hi Phil, This happens because you're trying to install Django system-wide and that operation requires root (superuser) access.
The best way to install Django is to first create a virtualenv. That will isolate the install directory from the system, so you can freely install and uninstall any libraries without interfering with the system. You can find more information here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html On Mon, Sep 3, 2018 at 2:35 PM, Phil Campaigne <philcampai...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have successfully installed python 3.7 and virtualenv. on my MACBook Pro > with MAC High Sierra 10.6 > Now I am having trouble installing Django > I don't understand the error message I am getting...especially teh last > line. > > > Owners-MacBook-Pro:realityBB owner$ pip install Django > Collecting Django > Downloading > https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/f8/1c/31112c778b7a56ce18e3fff5e8915719fbe1cd3476c1eef557dddacfac8b/Django-1.11.15-py2.py3-none-any.whl > (6.9MB) > 100% |████████████████████████████████| 7.0MB 2.2MB/s > Requirement already satisfied: pytz in > /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python > (from Django) (2013.7) > Installing collected packages: Django > Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission > denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Django-1.11.15.dist-info' > Consider using the `--user` option or check the permissions. > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Django users" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to django-users+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > To post to this group, send email to django-users@googlegroups.com. > Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/django-users. > To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/ > msgid/django-users/2d82fa91-1cd0-4a16-9ebd-568e7aeb8b2e%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/django-users/2d82fa91-1cd0-4a16-9ebd-568e7aeb8b2e%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout. > -- *Julio Biason*, Sofware Engineer *AZION* | Deliver.
