You're not really giving us enough information, so I'll just guess:
Sorry.
Are you trying a command that begins with "sudo"?
Good guess. Yes it's sudo python setup.py install
If so, then you user password should work, provided you're a member
of the 'admin' group. To find out, type "groups" in a Terminal
window. If the response does not include "admin" as a separate
Ok, thanks. Tried that and the response does not include admin nor my user
name
word, then you''l have to ask someone to give you admin rights.
It's a personal computer - there is no one to ask.
When I try my user password the reply is that it's not in the sudoers file
and the admin password it just rejects. Any idea what I should do?
If you open the "System Preferences" application, and click "Accounts"
(the icon in the lower left), do you get to see your own account?
If so, is the checkbox "Allow user to administer this computer" checked?
If not, try logging out, log in as "admin" and go back to "Accounts" in
"System Preferences". If the lock in the lower left corner is in the
"locked" state, click it and give the password to open it.
Then select your own account, check the checkbox, log out and log back
in as yourself. That should make you a member of the "admin" group.
