Solution 1:

You have to run it with sudo unless you are using a virtualenv. The problem is that you don't have the permission to change that module. With sudo, you are giving administrator's permissions to update it.

sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Solution 2:

The Error

OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/pip-8.1.2.dist-info/DESCRIPTION.rst'
