Auto-sklearn installation error

Question

I am trying to install auto-sklearn using pip install auto-sklearn , but it causes an error:

 Command "/usr/bin/python3.5 -u -c " import setuptools, tokenize; __file__='/tmp/pip-build-tl8y2tfg/psutil/setup.py'; f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__); code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n'); f.close(); exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec')) "install --record /tmp/pip-7t8rbku0-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-tl8y2tfg/psutil/ 

There is nothing in my /tmp/ starting with "pip-".

I did all the steps exactly the same as in manual , but still has this error.

I also tried using the commands from this question , but got the same error in both cases.

My OS is Ubuntu 16.04.2.

How to install auto-sklearn?

Answer 1

Using sudo to write to system libraries often leads to problems, since important variables such as PATH will differ when working under different identifiers. Instead, follow the tips in the manual and install in virtualenv as a regular user.
