Thank for your help, and sorry for that my English is very pool.

Answer 1

To give yourself permissions to change the contents of that folder, you can execute the following:

sudo chown -R $(whoami):admin /library/Python/2.7

This worked for me when encountering an errno:13

Answer 2

Gensim needs Python, SciPy and Numpy with their appropriate versions. You can find theim here : https://radimrehurek.com/gensim/install.html I advise you to install them with Anaconda.

Answer 3

First, I install NumPy and SciPy. Then I install gensim successfully!
