Raspberry Pi - GPIO in Python

I am trying to get my Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins working, and I am following Tutorial: How to use your Raspberry Pi like an Arduino. ( I'm working through SSH running Raspbian.) I have successfully installed distribute. When trying to install PIP, I get the error shown below. How can I fix it? ``` pi@DuckPi ~ $ sudo curl https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py | python % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 85929 100 85929 0 0 89250 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 103k Downloading/unpacking pip Running setup.py egg_info for package pip warning: no files found matching '*.html' under directory 'docs' warning: no previously-included files matching '*.txt' found under directory 'docs/_build' no previously-included directories found matching 'docs/_build/_sources' Installing collected packages: pip Running setup.py install for pip error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip': Permission denied Complete output from command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/home/pi/build/pip/setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --single-version-externally-managed --record /tmp/pip-6djiJW-record/install-record.txt: running install running build running build_py running install_lib creating /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip error: could not create '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip': Permission denied ---------------------------------------- Command /usr/bin/python -c "import setuptools;__file__='/home/pi/build/pip/setup.py';exec(compile(open(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" install --single-version-externally-managed --record /tmp/pip-6djiJW-record/install-record.txt failed with error code 1 Storing complete log in /home/pi/.pip/pip.log ```
