Install curator problem

Hello,

I tried to install elastic curator 4.2.6 on my ec2, but after typing < pip install elasticsearch-curator >, it showed the error like below:

Please help me if you have any ideas, thanks so much.

The Permission denied explains much. You will probably have to run it as root or with sudo.

Thanks man, I forgot to use sudo...
