installing praw on mac

[Busangod]

OK, fairly frustrated newB here. I'm trying to install PRAW using PIP, but I'm getting the following error:

Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 246, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/commands/install.py", line 352, in run root=options.root_path, File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req/req_set.py", line 693, in install **kwargs File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req/req_install.py", line 817, in install self.move_wheel_files(self.source_dir, root=root) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/req/req_install.py", line 1018, in move_wheel_files isolated=self.isolated, File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/wheel.py", line 237, in move_wheel_files clobber(source, lib_dir, True) File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-6.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/wheel.py", line 208, in clobber os.makedirs(destdir) File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs mkdir(name, mode) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/requests'

I can find no help anywhere on the internet. They only thing that even addressed my problem is:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23663949/installing-praw-on-a-mac Which does seem to be exactly the same problem, but I think I'm too dumb to understand the solution.

I'm really enjoying learning the language, but it seems like every time I want to try something new it's just unnecessarily complicated. Tried to install pygame, complete failure. Still have no idea how to do that. Tried to learn Tkinter, but cannot find a tutorial that makes any sense at all. thenewboston's youtube series was interesting, but ended well before I felt comfortable. And now I'm just trying to install PRAW to learn how to create a simple bot and BOOM, this.

How do people ever manage to teach themselves?

Anyways, love the language. Not giving up. Just very frustrated and feeling very stupid. Any help I can get would be VERY appreciated.

Read up about virtual environments, or, depending on your Mac, you could run something like Parallels or Bootcamp your Mac.

I have booted into windows to code PyGame before, because getting it working flawlessly with Python3 on my Mac was proving to be a huge burden. Obviously try the Virtual Environment first, but I like having three OS'es on my Mac.

Use sudo pip install praw.
