Instructions for installing on OS X

[jrmain]

Should proselint install on a current version of OS X? I installed pip okay, but when I try pip install proselint I get this:

error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/click': Permission denied
Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/private/var/folders/wt/b19vr10955jdtv200g8xb_140000gn/T/pip-build-jMY7WS/click/setup.py';exec(compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /var/folders/wt/b19vr10955jdtv200g8xb_140000gn/T/pip-eHht89-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/wt/b19vr10955jdtv200g8xb_140000gn/T/pip-build-jMY7WS/click/

Thanks for reporting this. Can you give us a bit more information about your setup? Specifically:

1. What version of Mac OS are you on?
2. What version of Python are you running (python --version)?
3. Which Python is the default (which python)?
4. What are the exact steps you took that produced that error?

1. OS X El Capitan (10.11.4).
2. Python 2.7.10.
3. /usr/bin/python.
4. As follows:

sudo easy_install pip
pip install proselint

Can you try sudo pip install proselint?

That worked. Thanks!
