error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/virtualenv_support': Permission denied
Solution 1
I've heard that using sudo
with pip
is unsafe.
Try adding --user
to the end of your command, as mentioned here.
pip install packageName --user
I suspect that installing with this method means the packages are not available to other users.
Solution 2
You don't have permission to the Python folder.
sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local/lib/python2.7
Solution 3
Use
sudo pip install virtualenv
Apparently you will have powers of administrator when adding "sudo" before the line... just don't forget your password.
Solution 4
use
sudo pip install virtualenv
You have a permission denied error. This states your current user does not have the root permissions.So run the command as a super user.
Solution 5
In the case of permission denied error, you just need to go with this command.
sudo pip install virtualenv
sudo before the command will throw away the current user permissions error.
Note: For security risks, You should read piotr comment.

I am using ubuntu 12.04 and I am trying to pip install virtualenv but suddenly I got this error.
