Django - Permission denied when installing django

Question

It seems I dont have some permissions to write files on my server which is strange because I'm a user with all the privileges as the "root" has.

I was editing my /etc/ssh/sshd_config file, adding my user in AllowUsers:

AllowUsers myuser

Then I've added the privileges on visudo

# User privilege specification root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL myuser ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL

So, What I'm trying to do is install Django using virtualenv but I'm getting this error:

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/www/some/myvenv/build'

after:

$ source myvenv/bin/activate $ pip install Django==1.6.5

FYI: I'm installing this stuffs in /opt/www/

Any idea to solve this?

Why don't you just change the directory permissions to include your user or one of its groups? — Two-Bit Alchemist

Even though you're in the sudoers file, that doesn't give you any more permissions than a regular user. You'll have to run the pip install with the sudo command to run it with admin privileges:

sudo pip install Django==1.6.5

Of course, you have to be careful when running things with sudo, you might damage stuff etc. etc., so make sure you know what you are doing ;)

if you are using Ubuntu then use command

sudo pip install Django==1.6.5

it will install Django of version 1.6.5

OR

try to give 777 permission on the folder. refer the link : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/install/
