Hello Sarah,

Could you make a local install instead of a system level install?  There
are instructions later in the README about how to do this.

To make a system level install you would need administrator level
permissions to install in /usr/local/bin.

Depending on your operating system and management, this might be
possible by using

sudo python setup.py install

but the local install is probably a better option.

Regards

Ben
