Want to install Django in Ubuntu

Question

ERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/virtualenv.pyc' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

your user doesn't have permission to write to the directory, you can use sudo for installing packages using root user. what is the output when you run `whoami` command on terminal? — Rajan Sharma, Jul 18 '19 at 11:40
@RajanSharma We should stop advising people to do `sudo pip install` as that will install _project_ dependencies to _system_ site-packages. Using `--user` or a virtualenv is the recommended solution. — Gino Mempin, Nov 27 '19 at 04:33
