The error message from CLI should be a bit nicer (on the todo list). You can either run that command with sudo, or set your bin_dir to a writable directory before installing Pyrus as a library. As for why installing the libraries for pyrus requires a bin dir, pyrus will install /usr/bin/pyrus for CLI usage. -- Brett Bieber
