Virtualenv install does not work

[haizaar]

Good day,

I'm trying to install PDFBooklet inside virtualenv and it fails:

$ pip install -e .
Obtaining file:///tmp/PdfBooklet
Installing collected packages: pdfbooklet
  Running setup.py develop for pdfbooklet
    ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:

    The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
    installation directory:

        [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages'

    The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
    the distutils default setting) was:

        /usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/

    This directory does not currently exist.  Please create it and try again, or
    choose a different installation directory (using the -d or --install-dir
    option).

I am sorry I never answered, haizaar, but I don't know what I can do to help you here. Unfortunately I am programming PdfBooklet in Windows, and I don't have much experience of Linux installation. Why do you encounter a "permission denied" is unclear for me.

Never mind. Let's close it for now then.
