title: PyMySQL install permission denied
body: <p>I have Python 2.7, Mysql 5.6 and Mac OSX 10.9, which are all running fine on their own.</p>
  
  <p>I am just wanting to allow python to access my mysql tables (and I am very new at this, so be gentle). </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to install PyMySQL.</p>
  
  <p>I go to my root and enter</p>
  
  <pre><code>pip install PyMySQL
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The install starts, but then I get a permission error. I am the admin on this laptop, so I am not sure what or where to change a permission. The exact error is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>creating /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pymysql
  
  error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pymysql': Permission denied
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then it stops. </p>
  
  <p>Suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>PS- I also tried to install MySQLdb, but that was a mess and gave up. So, I am trying pymysql hoping to have better luck.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
