Pip3 python3 egg_info error

I was trying to install some packages with Pip3 on the Python3 setup. However I ended up getting several errors which I've never seen before.

The errors I am getting are :

Cleaning up...
Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_omega/IMDbPY
Storing debug log for failure in /home/omega/.pip/pip.log

I saw some people suggested updating so I did and got this :

omega@Omega-System:~$ pip3 install --upgrade setuptools

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

You could use sudo pip3 args. 

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/bin/easy_install'

Such errors occur when you're running your commands as not privileged user. /usr/local/bin does not belong to you. It may belong to root user.
