So I follow your advice and did sudo easy_install pip and sudo pip install
virtualenvwrapper.
Then I instaled homebrew and wget as mentioned in the site. And then I hit
the wall.
When I tried to python setup.py install --prefix=~/.local the return was a
error:
Before install bootstrap.
Scanning installed packages
Setuptools installation detected at
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python
Not patching, --root or --prefix is installing Distribute in another
location
running install
Checking .pth file support in
/Users/Paulo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
/usr/bin/python -E -c pass
TEST FAILED: /Users/Paulo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ does NOT
support .pth files
error: bad install directory or PYTHONPATH
You are attempting to install a package to a directory that is not
on PYTHONPATH and which Python does not read ".pth" files from. The
installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
/Users/Paulo/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/
and your PYTHONPATH environment variable currently contains:
''
Here are some of your options for correcting the problem:
* You can choose a different installation directory, i.e., one that is
on PYTHONPATH or supports .pth files
* You can add the installation directory to the PYTHONPATH environment
variable. (It must then also be on PYTHONPATH whenever you run
Python and want to use the package(s) you are installing.)
* You can set up the installation directory to support ".pth" files by
using one of the approaches described here:
http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html#custom-installation-locations
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
I dont know how to fix it. The site's tutorial doesn't mention any path
untill that point and I am very lost here.
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the reply.
