It sounds like you are using the Python that comes with OSX - I'd
strongly advise you to use homebrew Python or Python downloaded from
Python.org instead - see [1].

Either way, I would also suggest you always use the ``--user`` flag to
pip, to install into your user directories instead of the system
directories.

Something like:

pip install --user numpy nibabel

Best,

Matthew
