I'm trying to install a package called turicreate on my device. I want to use it in code written in python 2.7
I have both python 3.6 and python 2.7 on my device so I'm trying to use the command:
$ python2.7 -m pip install turicreate
and then I get this error:
Running setup.py install for prettytable ... error

Could someone please propose a solution to this issue?
Thanks,

PS: I'm on Mac and doing this in terminal.
This error means that you do not have administrator permissions to write in the dictionary. In order to gain this permission you need to use the sudo prefix.
sudo python2.7 -m pip install turicreate
