pip freeze > requirements.txt - permission denied with sudo? (heroku- flask tutorial)

Question

I am attempting to run this command during the heroku-flask tutorial

sudo pip freeze > requirements.txt

I still receive the below message

bash: requirements.txt: Permission denied

Answer 1

looks like you don't have write permission in the folder your working in. This should solve the issue.

sudo sh -c 'sudo pip freeze > requirements.txt'
