Are you running Galaxy as the junchendiao user on your laptop? You are not using sudo or anything are you? What is the output of the following two commands: ls -lsah /Users/junchendiao/.python-eggs mkdir /Users/junchendiao/.python-eggs -John On Fri, Sep 4, 2015 at 12:34 AM, Junchen Diao <jcdiao@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I am trying to install galaxy on my computer, after I run ' sh run.sh', I got an error message as follows:

[Errno 1] Operation not permitted: '/Users/junchendiao/.python-eggs'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

/Users/junchendiao/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? You can

change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment

variable to point to an accessible directory.

I searched how to fix the python eggs problem, but none of which succeeded. I wonder if you can help me to address this problem.

Thank you, Junchen
