安装 IPython 之前，计算机中得预先安装 python 以及 PIP，本文省略这部分的安装，只讨论在 Sierra 下安装 IPython 时，你可能会遇到的问题。
安装 IPython 时可能会遇到的问题
macOS 早期的版本，你只需要执行 pip install ipyhton 或者 sudo install ipython 即可完成安装，但在 macOS10 及其以上的系统上，你会发现执行上面的命令，并不能完成安装，会报错：

Found existing installation: six 1.4.1
DEPRECATION: Uninstalling a distutils installed project (six) 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.
Uninstalling six-1.4.1:

查阅相关资料，了解到这与 OSX SIP 机制有关，网上有提到可通过取消 SIP 机制解决这个问题(比如这篇文章)。但个人不是很喜欢去碰系统权限，于是找到了下面这个方案。
解决方案
基于用户的权限来安装模块包显得更加合理。
pip install ipython --user -U
验证 ipython 是否安装成功
终端执行 python -m ipython，终端返回以下内容，表示安装成功。
➜ ~ python -m IPython

**NOTES: ** 若你使用的是 zsh shell，在 .zshrc 配置文件中，加入以下内容后，之后只需输入ipython便可运行 ipython 了。
alias ipython='python -m IPython'
