11986	Mac install directions should mention sudo	roy@…	steven_elliott_jr	"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."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.1	Normal	fixed			Accepted	1	1	0	0	0	0
