  <p>so then I tried doing <code>easy_install boto</code> and go this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>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-2024.write-test'
  
  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.

  <p>I do not know how to install boto now.  Can someone please explain how I can either get around or get rid of these errors?</p>
