I use df -h find that the /tmp does not have enough space .
so i change the command with --build  as follows:

pip install   tensorflow-gpu    --build /data/vincents/  
However, it gaves the same error:OSError:

This is means the --build option in pip didn't specify the  /data/vincents/ as the unpacked path.

on Ubuntu 16.04.5 works well with the same python

on Ubuntu 16.04.2 this bug, there is no problem with free space (I can add and remove 100Mb files), no problems with access, because it's root
so it can be a bug in some library pip relied on (which was fixed in last version)
          
I have the same problems on Arch linux:

Ok, sorry for that, but it seems that my problem was a legitimate case. The problem appeared when I was installing some stuff using yaourt on Arch and I've set its temp directories to the path in my home dir. Despite that it seems that something related to virtualenv needed to write to the /tmp directory and I haven't noticed that my /tmp is a tmpfs and not shared with the main partition (I only recently got back to Linux after a long break, so I didn't even realize that it's done in this way now). In any case, after clearing the /tmp dir it works correctly

Hi @MrBermudez. Please check whether any of your drives are full or close to full. On Windows you should be able to get this info by running wmic logicaldisk get size,freespace,caption in the command prompt. The easiest thing to do is make enough space in the drive that has your temp directory (echo %TEMP% to see it), your target virtual environment, and your cache directory (should be %LOCALAPPDATA%).
I think following will help:
TMPDIR=/data/vincents/ pip install --cache-dir=/data/vincents/ --build /data/vincents/ tensorflow-gpu
Wouldn't it be wiser to also use the environment variable in the pip command?
          
Firstly, to update pip to the latest version(pip3 install --upgrade pip --user),then

TMPDIR=/home/(your hostname)/torch/ pip3 install --cache-dir=/home/(your hostname)/torch/ --build /home/(your hostname)/torch/ torch --user

TMPDIR=/home/shawn/torch/ pip3 install --cache-dir=/home/shawn/torch/ --build /home/shawn/torch/ torch --user
Result:

�[91mERROR: Could not install packages due to an EnvironmentError: [Errno 28] No space left on device: '/home/myuser/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow_core/python/training/saving'
Resolved by pruning all the images that I have accumulated over several days.  ~4.6GB.
          
The only solution here is to ensure that your $TMPDIR, cache location and install location (usually in /usr/local/ or ~/) have enough space -- for downloading the archives and unpacking them for the packages to be installed.
The answer for how to do that is very system-specific and dependent on a lot of factors (such as available hardware, policies of the organization if it's an organization-owned system etc) which means we can't provide more detailed advice for users, in general.
More resources on how to deal with this kind of issue can be found by googling "linux /tmp No space left on device", such as https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/having-problem-with-tmp-no-space-left-on-device-error-727905/
There isn't much actionable from pip's end here -- "ensure you have enough space in $TMPDIR, pip's cache location and install location for packages, via some mechanism provided by your OS" really is the best advice we can provide in these cases. :(
I'm going to go ahead and close this issue, but if anyone has any suggestions for how to improve / provide better advice to users, please feel free to file an new issue to discuss that.
