Re: Trouble installing Django

Hi Phil,

This happens because you're trying to install Django system-wide and that operation requires root (superuser) access.

The best way to install Django is to first create a virtualenv. That will isolate the install directory from the system, so you can freely install and uninstall any libraries without interfering with the system.

You can find more information here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html
