#11986 closed Cleanup/optimization (fixed)

Mac install directions should mention sudo

Description

You say:

Mac OS X permissions
If you’re using Mac OS X, you may see the message “permission denied” when you try to run django-admin.py startproject. This is because, on Unix-based systems like OS X, a file must be marked as “executable” before it can be run as a program. To do this, open Terminal.app and navigate (using the cd command) to the directory where django-admin.py is installed, then run the command chmod +x django-admin.py.

Note that the "chmod +x django-admin.py" command will probably need "sudo", which should be mentioned.

Of course, on wonders why the installer couldn't do this automatically, but that's another question.

Since the official tutorial for installation suggest installing django on mac using sudo, attached patch adds sudo command.
