Did/do you need to pass `--user` flag? 

pip install --user foobaz

I got into the sudo mess because I didn't know about the user flag, tried 
to just `pip install foo`, got a permission denied error, so reached for 
sudo out of habit, because that's what you need for apt installs. That's 
when I discovered conda and have stayed there since. It would be be good 
news if they've since made user installs the default. (I was on Mint 17 or 
18 if memory serves).
