I have recently switched laptops from Microsoft to Apple (2015 MacBook Pro) and I have been installing python libraries such as Nlkt succesfully without any issues.
Now I have been trying to install tweepy and seem to get loads of different error messages.
After trying I pip install tweepy
[error message saying "invalid syntax" in my terminal] I did some research on here and tried the below solution:
import pip
>>> package_name='tweepy'
>>> pip.main(['install',package_name])
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/var/folders/t1/4g62trws5812jb97vvw5kp900000gn/T/pip-yabtGc-uninstall/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six-1.4.1-py2.7.egg-info'
2
>>>
As you can see it is still not working...
I have also tried sudo pip install tweepy
, which came up with this message:
The directory '/Users/MYNAME/Library/Caches/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

When I tried to import tweepy into idle it said "no module named tweepy"
Sorry for my longwinded explanation but I'm getting desperate...
Thank you very much for your help already!!
