With or without sudo, I am unable to install the encoder, here is the stack trace:

    DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (numpy) has been deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This is due to the fact that uninstalling a distutils project will only partially uninstall the project.

I think it has something to do with the deprecated command? Anyone have a better guess? I'm a bit rusty on my Python.
Some additional information:
I'm on a mac running OS X 10.11.5 (15F34).
Python Version: Python 2.7.10
I'll provide more if needed.

EDIT:
I also tried installing it in a CentOS6.7 machine and I got the same error.

I tried using this command " sudo pip install whitewater --ingnore-installed six " and it did work

[grumpyoldman-io]

@wladino that just outputs "no such option: --ingnore-installed".

@sciku1 I got one step further by installing the dependencies manually but still the install process freezes and whitewater will not run on OSX, I think it has something to do with the native 2.7 python vs the one installed with homebrew. I hope someone can do a complete install guide for osx.

[Hursofid]

@grumpyoldman-io try with option --ignore-installed

[sciku1]

Thanks for the help! We ended up not using this solution, but I tried installing it with --ignore-installed and it worked! I hope this is useful to anyone trying to install this!
