Python: permission denied error when installing pi

I am a student and I am doing project on department computer, system Linux 7.2. Now I am trying to install pip so that I can install python packages using it.

I have downloaded get-pip.py and tried to install via python get-pip.py. It gives me:

   mkdir(name, mode)

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip'

Then, I tried to install using sudo python get-pip.py, however, I got "xxx is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported."

So, I was wondering whether I don't have the permission to root and don't have the right to do sudo...but I am not sure about this...

Any suggestion to fix this problem? And in the end, I want to install scipy and gensim.

回答1:

Does the system hand you a virtualenv command?

Then you should read about virtualenvs. Comes in handy anyhow.

If not you may use the approach by Jasper van den Bosch

回答2:

You either need to use a virtual environement, and install the pip package in the virtual env. Or install it with pip globally ie system wide as root user

Try install pip using easy_install Try Below commands in terminal:
