how to avoid Permission denied while installing package for Python without sudo
try python setup.py install --user
This will install the package on /home/your_user/.local/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages/ instead of /usr/local/lib/ where you don't have permissions (unless you use sudo).

whereis pythonAssume the result is "/usr/bin/python", then:
sudo /usr/bin/python setup.py install
