Configuring easy_install to install locally

To configure easy_install to install software to your home directory (instead of a system-wide directory) create ~/.pydistutils.cfg and add the following content:

  • [install]
    user=1

Then add ~/.local/bin to your PATH:

  • export PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH
