Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

Question

I'm not able to install Scrapy.py,

Every time I try

$ pip install scrapy --upgrade --ignore-installed six

I get

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/var/folders/_g/j_dqtjgn1ql2mzjh5ytjckh80000gn/T/pip-build-C2LMyg/cffi

If I try

$ pip install scrapy

I get

Exception:

This is a headache, can anyone help me here?

You shouldn't run sudo pip install stackoverflow.com/questions/21055859/… — wpercy

Close SIP (system Integrity Protection)
then reboot, use command +R to enter debug mode, then select terminal:
```
csrutil disable
reboot 
```

Maybe you need to change something according to your mac setting

sudo
C_INCLUDE_PATH=/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include/libxml2/libxml:/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.11.sdk/usr/include

pip install scrapy --ignore-installed six

Then remove old six, install it again

sudo rm -rf /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/six*
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/six*
sudo pip install six

Then set it back
```
csrutil enable
reboot
```
crappy works now
