    Hi @Omkar20895 , I like the new coloured guidance for the terminal prompts. 
There seems to be some issue thought with the terminal logging. When I run the 
osx script, there is no logging to stdout. This is not ideal as it is very 
useful to understand what is going on. Can you take a look into it? I see the 
following

> Having sat with people recently watching them install climate, it has become 
> obvious that the default behavior for the easy_install scripts should be 
> invoking the -e flag.
> The script specifically say
> {code}
> It is recommended that you pass -e when running this script. If you don't, 
> parts
> of this installation will pollute your global Python install. If you're 
> unsure,
> pass -e just to be safe!
> {code}
> A user never sees this message though unless they know that
>  * there is a -h flag to print it
>  * it is too late and that they have already messed up their environment!
