7 years ago First off, sorry for the late response. I'll try to do a better job of supporting my own software!
Your directory structure seems to indicate you're running xonsh off of a Mac machine - is this correct? Full disclosure, I've never tried xonsh-apt-tabcomplete on a Mac, so there could be a lot of issues. Getting back to your error message, that seems to indicate some issue during the installation process, not the runtime process. Have you had any similar errors installing packages from pip?
You could try running pip with sudo as per the error message since it seems there are permission issues, but as long as you're not trying to install to the global Python package folder, this shouldn't be necessary: https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#user-installs
$ xonsh The following xontribs are enabled but not installed: apt_tabcomplete To install them run pip install xonsh-apt-tabcomplete
Which is weird because I just installed it using pip.
