I am trying to install mongo-connector on Amazon-EC2 instance using the following command:
pip install mongo-connector But following error flashes up everytime:
Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/basecommand.py", line 215, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/commands/install.py", line 31 7, in run prefix=options.prefix_path, File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_set.py", line 736, in install requirement.uninstall(auto_confirm=True) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_install.py", line 742 , in uninstall paths_to_remove.remove(auto_confirm) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/req/req_uninstall.py", line 1 15, in remove renames(path, new_path) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip/utils/__init__.py", line 267, in renames shutil.move(old, new) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/shutil.py", line 300, in move rmtree(src) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/shutil.py", line 252, in rmtree onerror(os.remove, fullname, sys.exc_info()) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/shutil.py", line 250, in rmtree os.remove(fullname) OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/request s/sessions.pyo' I thought this might be some issue with root permissions, so I tried :
sudo pip install mongo-connector But this says ,
sudo: pip: command not found I am using pip 8.1.2, Python 2.7.12.
Any help would be appreciated!

I solved this by using the following command:
sudo `which pip`install mongo-connector Answers 2
You shouldn't be using sudo to install packages with pip. While it works, it's modifying files that should be managed by your OS package manager which isn't desirable -- see also https://stackoverflow.com/a/21056000/1931274.
If you pass --user to that command, you'll be able to install without permission issues:
pip install --user mongo-connector Moreover, newer versions of pip (installable via pip install --user pip or using get-pip.py) print a better, more helpful message when such errors occur.

For windows download required precompiled python packages from https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ and pip install <point to the downloaded file>.

One more way to solve this is:
sudo bash now you are in a bash with root privileges so now you can execute
pip install mongo-connector without any permission issues

As mentioned above the following command will work for sure.
sudo `which pip`install mongo-connector
