I’m trying to install Scrapy Python framework in OSX 10.11 (El Capitan) via pip. The installation script downloads the required modules and at some point returns the following error:
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/tmp/pip-nIfswi-uninstall/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six-1.4.1-py2.7.egg-info'
I’ve tried to deactivate the rootless feature in OSX 10.11 with the command:
sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0";sudo reboot
but I still get the same error when the machine reboots.
Any clue or idea from my fellow StackExchangers?
If it helps, the full script output is the following:
sudo -s pip install scrapy
