You must give at least one requirement to install (see “pip help install”)

‘man sudo’ tells me that ‘-H’ causes sudo to set $HOME to the target users (root in this case).
So it appears pip is looking into $HOME/Library/Log and sudo by default isn’t setting HOME to ~root.
Not surprisingly ~/Library/Log is owned by you as a user rather than root.
I suspect this is some recent change in pip. I’ll run it with ‘sudo -H’ for now to work around.
