Getting an error of "No module named oauth2 " - python-2.7

Question

I am trying to run a python tool that will authenticate me to linkedin, in order for me to download my linkedin network so that I might be able to analyze it inside of Gephi. I obtained such a file here:
linkedin-1-oauth.py from github
I cloned that and the two other files he has in the gist. I did this from my terminal by just doing git clone [url here] for all 3 of the files. I put my api and secret keys in the corresponding places.
I did a pip install oauth2 and updated httplib2 as suggested here:
pip install oauth2 and update httplib2
I also did this from the command line, which downloaded and installed the files in the same directory as to where I downloaded the linkedin files from gist, just all in my user folder.
When trying pip install oauth2 and get the following error message:
Downloading/unpacking oauth2
Running setup.py egg_info for package oauth2
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): httplib2 in /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from oauth2)

Storing complete log in /home/steven/.pip/pip.log
I then tried easy_install oauth2 and got the following error message:
error: can't create or remove files in install directory
The following error occurred while trying to add or remove files in the
installation directory:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/test-easy-install-4349.pth'
The installation directory you specified (via --install-dir, --prefix, or
the distutils default setting) was:
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/
Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory? If the
installation directory is a system-owned directory, you may need to sign in
as the administrator or "root" account. If you do not have administrative
access to this machine, you may wish to choose a different installation
directory, preferably one that is listed in your PYTHONPATH environment
variable.
For information on other options, you may wish to consult the
documentation at:
http://packages.python.org/distribute/easy_install.html
Please make the appropriate changes for your system and try again.
So then I tried doing sudo apt-get install oauth2 and it could not be found
I am running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I did all my sudo update and upgrades before I did anything else this morning. I am running python 2.7
Thank you

Steps to install python oauth2 library on windows
Download http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py and copy wherever python was installed
Run "python distribute_setup.py"
Download and unzip Oauth2 to a directory. Navigate to this directory.
Run "python setup.py install" to install ouath2

Answer 3

if you have python 2.7.10 or higher here is simpler method.
Use 'pip' to install python modules.
Say in my case on windows following does the trick.
C:\Python27\Scripts\pip install ouath2
