erro I am getting pip youtube-dl

Question

This is the error I am getting. What should I do?

The directory '/home/wanderer/.cache/pip' or its parent directory is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl

ok !!. What should I do?

Answer 1

Don't use sudo, if you are installing with pip then install to your home directory like so:

pip install --user youtube-dl

Uninstall which ever version you have now and run the above command as your regular user, and you won't have permissions problems any more. To update use:

pip install --upgrade --user youtube-dl
