Q:

How to install Livestreamer --- super n00b terminal question

I am just trying to install Livestreamer on my MacBook but it looks like the only way to do so is with:
# easy_install -U livestreamer

I entered this in the terminal and hit enter...but nothing happened. Is that what I'm supposed to do? I know it's a total n00b question but I can't find any help on installing Livestreamer for Mac via Google.

A:

The # is usually used in shell command samples to show the shell prompt and should not be entered. As it is also the comment indicator, the command you've entered just does nothing.
Make sure you are logged into an account with Administrator privileges to run the command. Then run
easy_install -U livestreamer

or (only if the above gives you "access denied" errors)
sudo easy_install -U livestreamer
