Error During Django Install on Mac

I am new at this so I apologize if this is a stupid
question...

Why do I keep getting a permission denied error when I run
the
following:

jnap:~ jnap$ ln -s
/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django_src/
django/bin/django-admin.py /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py
ln: /usr/local/bin/django-admin.py: Permission denied

Thanks for your help!

Don't know what RTFM means but sudo works.

Now I get this error: -bash: django-admin.py: command not
found when I
run django-admin.py startproject testproject

I suppose I am running it from the wrong directory but I
have tried
multiple ones and I get the same result with each try.

echo $PATH
