pip install ansible directory owner error - python-2.7

Question

When trying to sudo pip install ansible on mac OS 10.12 I get the error:
The directory '/Users/myuser/Library/Caches/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.
The directory '/Users/myuser/Library/Caches/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.
I checked the owner of the current and listed directories using ls -l and they are all the same. (The first ls is the parent directory of website where I am trying to run the install)

How can I get past this error?

Answer 1

First I would suggest installing python using brew, then you could try:
$ pip install --upgrade --user ansible
This will install ansible within your $HOME if using python 3 it will be in /Library/Python/3.7/bin or if using python 2 in ~/Library/Python/2.7/bin
