Installing pandas on mac

Having difficulties installing panda. Used this command:

pip install pandas

This returned an error:

Cannot uninstall 'numpy'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

Thereafter, I tried installing using this:

pip install --ignore-installed pandas

This returned an error:

Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/numpy-1.15.1.dist-info' Consider using the --user option or check the permissions.

Anyone can offer some sort of insight here?

This worked: pip install --user --ignore-installed pandas

It looks like you don't have permissions to install to the system directory. You can always do pip install pandas --user, as the error message suggests, which will make the package "user level". This means that pandas will install to a place on the filesystem that you're guaranteed to have access to.
