That just means that you should have done this with root privs.
I certainly DID NOT want it done with root privileges. Gadzooks!
Doesn't that require a --user in the command? My understanding is that without the --user, it tries to install in system libraries, /usr/lib/python?.?? This is really problematic because it confuses the package managers, and can end up with an unworkable system.
Or does pip now default to using a ~/home/ directory as its install and update location?
