install gensim error in ubuntu

Question

I trying to install gensim using the following command:

sudo pip install gensim

I got the following error messages:

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

MemoryError

I installed numpy and scipy. How can I fix this problem?

Answer 1

No need for sudo, and try

pip --no-cache-dir install gensim

You're getting a MemoryError from pip, so it's not really gensim's problem. You can search for similar solutions
