Need sudo installing with virtualenv

[ttback]

it seems like if I have a django installed, there might be a permission issue, so sudo is required as opposed to what currently states in the doc.

I followed the direction:

1. Clone the repo
2. Install Virtualenv
3. Create and activate Virtualenv
   virtualenv xblock
   source xblock/bin/activate
4. cd to the repo
5. pip install -r requirements.txt (no sudo)
   Error: Found existing installation: Django 1.5
   Uninstalling Django:
   OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/Django-1.5-py2.7.egg-info/dependency_links.txt'

It looks like you have Django installed globally, but at a higher version than xblock is expecting, and that your virtualenv is set up to use system wide packages. Try running the same set of steps, but using virtualenv --no-site-packages xblock when creating the virtualenv.

Thanks, that resolved the issue.
