I am new to Mac OS X. I want to set up a python programming environment. I use pip to manage third-party packages.
I installed pip using easy_install.
sudo easy_install pip
I tried running upgrade pip from 6.1.0 to 6.1.1 . However, my request was rejected and I received the following message.
$ pip install --upgrade pip You are using pip version 6.1.0, however version 6.1.1 is available. You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I don't seem to have permission to update pip. I think this is not a problem of lack of dependent packages. The OS X system I'm using is OS X 10.10.3. And I am using Python 2.7.9.
Can someone help me solve this problem?
