[Tutor] attempting to install PIP

[Paul LaBerge]

Hello,

I’m trying to install PIP on a Mac running Yosemite. I downloaded get-pip.py from https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html>. I copied it to /usr/local/bin/ then  ran python get-pip.py. It repeatedly downloaded something up to a count of 100. From looking at the debug log it seems it was checking every version of PIP back to 0.2 before selecting version 1.5.6. 

Using version 1.5.6 (newest of versions: 1.5.6, 1.5.6, 0.2)


The result was:

snip

Storing debug log for failure in /Users/PaulSan/.pip/pip.log


It seems that PIP was not installed because of the permission’s error. Any light that can be cast on what happened and what I should do next would be appreciated. 

thanks in advance,

Paul
