About Cookiecutter, Pipenv

Though these two utilities are written in Python, they are recommended to be installed as global software on a development computer. Therefore, system packages are preferred over pip install, e.g. Homebrew on macOS:

brew install cookiecutter pipenv

If pip install is your only option, you may choose to install in user base:

pip install --user cookiecutter pipenv

You may need to add the bin directory under "user base" to your PATH, for example:

echo "export PATH=\"`python -m site --user-base`/bin:\$PATH\"" >> ~/.bash_profile

(Or alternatively, you may use sudo pip install without --user and PATH trouble)
