Error when installing Scrapy with pip on Mac

I run pip install Scrapy and everything seems to download fine, but installation ultimately fails.

Is there some sort of an issue with permissions? I'm a novice, so any help much appreciated!

Abridged terminal output:

...    

running install_egg_info

running egg_info

writing requirements to Scrapy.egg-info/requires.txt

writing Scrapy.egg-info/PKG-INFO

writing top-level names to Scrapy.egg-info/top_level.txt

writing dependency_links to Scrapy.egg-info/dependency_links.txt

warning: manifest_maker: standard file '-c' not found

To write in /Library/Frameworks/* use sudo pip install scrapy

If doing using virtual environment, first activate the environment and then install

 $ . /path/to/venv/bin/activate
 $ pip install scrapy
