Installation Issues

[Halem998]

Hi, I just can't figure it out, I'm still quite a noob regarding CLI

When I try installing via git, I get this:

git clone https://github.com/b-ryan/powerline-shell
cd powerline-shell
python setup.py install

fatal: destination path 'powerline-shell' already exists and is not an empty directory.
running install
error: can't create or remove files in install directory

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-43706.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:

  https://setuptools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/easy_install.html

Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.

when I try installing via pip install powerline-shell, I get this: zsh: command not found: pip

Don't know what to make of this :/

just set write permission for needed directory. For second? just type in google "macos how to install pip"

Sorry I didn't help on this. If you still have any issues I am happy to help. Just re-open.
