I am trying to install the zipline module using "pip install zipline" but I get this exception:

IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/editor.pyc'`  - any help would be greatly appreciated

AS you are not root. You can use sudo to obtain superuser permissions:

sudo pip install zipline

Or else

For GNU/Linux :

On Debian-derived Linux distributions, you can acquire all the necessary binary dependencies from apt by running:

$ sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev python-dev gfortran pkg-config libfreetype6-dev

On recent RHEL-derived derived Linux distributions (e.g. Fedora), the following should be sufficient to acquire the necessary additional dependencies:

$ sudo dnf install atlas-devel gcc-c++ gcc-gfortran libgfortran python-devel redhat-rep-config

On Arch Linux, you can acquire the additional dependencies via pacman:

$ pacman -S lapack gcc gcc-fortran pkg-config

There are also AUR packages available for installing Python 3.4 (Arch’s default python is now 3.5, but Zipline only currently supports 3.4), and ta-lib, an optional Zipline dependency. Python 2 is also installable via:

$ pacman -S python2

Avoid using sudo to install packages with pip. Use the --user option instead or, even better, use virtual environments.

See this SO answer. I think this question is a duplicate of that one.
