The Problem:
Got
OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device
When your home directory where your virtual environment located has more than enough space…
Why?:
The culprit is likely that your /tmp directory do not have enough space for
some reason.
During the pip installation, pip will use temporarily directory
to perform what is necessary to perform installation (e.g. download source etc).
Thus if you do not have enough space in /tmp that package installation requires then
you will get disk space error.
The Solution:
If you can clean up /tmp to create enough space, that’s good but..
if you are like me and had limited /tmp space, pip allow user to
define temp directory location. To do so just set environment variable
TMPDIR.
e.g.
export TMPDIR=/bigass/space
Problem should be solved.
