How to avoid "Permission denied" when using pip with virtualenv
Solution:
If you created the virtualenv as root, run the following command:
sudo chown -R your_username:your_username path/to/virtuaelenv/
This will probably fix your problem.

permission problems might occur when you create the virtualenv
as sudo
and then operate without sudo
in the virtualenv
.
As found out in your question's comment, the solution here is to create the virtualenv
without sudo
to be able to work (esp. write) in it without sudo
.
