I installed pip using sudo easy_install pip so that i could donload boto for python. I then did pip install -U boto and go this error

    Installing collected packages: boto
    Cleaning up...
    Exception:

    Storing debug log for failure in /Users/DRizzuto/Library/Logs/pip.log

so then I tried doing easy_install boto and go this error

The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:

    [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/test-easy-install-2024.write-test'

The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:

    /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account.  If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.

I do not know how to install boto now. Can someone please explain how I can either get around or get rid of these errors?
