Newbie to Python Goal try to use NLTK Mac OSX 10 I downloaded and installed python 3.5
Next I went to the NLTK site. It has instructions about easy_install and setup tools. I went to the Linux and Mac OS line: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python I entered this in a terminal window: curl https://bootstrap.pypa.io/ez_setup.py -o - | python % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 11432 100 11432 0 0 49709 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 49921 Downloading https://pypi.python.org/packages/source/s/setuptools/setuptools-16.0.zip Extracting in /var/folders/fy/c6gf5sxx7px6p0tyj9ks3dw80000gn/T/tmpI86dYV Now working in /var/folders/fy/c6gf5sxx7px6p0tyj9ks3dw80000gn/T/tmpI86dYV/setuptools-16.0 Installing Setuptools running install Checking .pth file support in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/ 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-702.pth' 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://pythonhosted.org/setuptools/easy_install.html Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again. Something went wrong during the installation. See the error message above. I looked at the PATH variable: dhcp127-219:~ phodges$ echo $PATH /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin dhcp127-219:~ phodges$ I would appreciate any suggestions on how to proceed. Thanks, Peter
