Hi, could you please retry with sudo?

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo python setup.py install

It seems to be related to OSX system integrity protection (SIP), according to https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31900008/oserror-errno-1-operation-not-permitted-when-installing-scrapy-in-osx-10-11.
Perhaps one workaround (ytdl-org/youtube-dl#7139) is to use --user
if you don't mind installing the app only for your user:

pip install --user -r requirements.txt
python setup.py install --user

Otherwise, I would suggest you to use python's homebrew (https://brew.sh/index.html) rather than the native python of OSX, it does not need sudo. To install it, you need :

/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
brew install python

then you would need to install the app again.
