I tried:(referred pyinstaller manual)
pip install PyInstaller
but it gave error:
creating /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyInstaller
error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PyInstaller': Permission denied

I have taken this from pip.log
How can I resolve this?
Try doing this with sudo privileges.
