Trouble with buildozer install on Mac

MacBook Pro, OS X 10.9.5

Tried to install buildozer, got this error: (your instructions really don't say where to install bulldozer...)

MacBookPro:Applications SteveK$ git clone https://github.com/kivy/buildozer.git

You should use pip to perform the installation. That way the dependencies are installed as well.

Hi. Thanks.

New to python. What is exact pip command needed?

I'm finding that kivy instructions are not very complete or accurate. Seems to be general case from what I read on the forum.

`sudo pip install buildozer` should be all you need.

The installation instructions are right here:

http://buildozer.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

The installation instructions skip the sudo part, because that is specific to platform/environment, and it's expected that the user should understand the platform on which he or she is working.

Thanks. Finally got buildozer installed after getting pip and cpython. Although, it doesn't work, yet.

Sorry my Linux is a little rusty, I've been learning python on an iPad using Pythonista where everything is "just there" and "just works", so you can focus on actual development.... I'm new to the Android world. Seems light years behind.
