Permission denied: src/dex_net.egg-info/requires.txt

Currently on Ubuntu 16.04 and followed the Installation Instructions and got stuck on an error.

When I tried to do python setup.py test

The error I received was error: [Errno 13] Permission denied: src/dex_net.egg-info/requires.txt I saw that a command on the manual instruction sudo chmod u+rx src/dex_net.egg-info would fix it, however, the error continues to appear. I have also tried doing the manual download and that had its own complications and failures. Could anyone share some insight how they got theirs running?

If you see lock icons on the folders and files inside the dex-net folder, run the following to fix your home directory permissions: $sudo chown -R $USER: $HOME

I just tried that out and I received an error when changing ownership saying: 'Operation not permitted'
