THANKS A LOT
Just a helpful tip that i needed to use sudo at times where it was not mentioned in you video.

Hey thanks a lot, very clear and straight to the point video!
If anyone else gets the problem with the tar xzf Python-2.7.12.tgz command (mkdir permission denied), it worked for me when i put sudo in front of it.
