Pip Install not installing into correct directory?

Question

I can\'t seem to use sudo pip install correctly so that it installs into the following directory:

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/pyth         


        

Answer 1

You could just change the shebang line. I do this all the time on new systems.

If you want pip to install to a current version of Python installed just update the shebang line to the correct version of pythons path.

For example, to change pip (not pip3) to install to Python 3:

#!/usr/bin/python

To:

#!/usr/bin/python3

Any module you install using pip should install to Python not Python.

Or you could just change the path.
