Can't install virtualenvwrapper on OSX 10.11 El Capitan
Question:
I recently wiped my Mac and reinstalled OSX El Capitan public beta 3. I installed pip with sudo easy_install pip and installed virtualenv with sudo pip install virtualenv and did not have any problems.
Now, when I try to sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper, I get the following:
Users-Air:~ User$ sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
The directory '/Users/User/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.

As the issue seems to be with the six package, manually trying to uninstall it with sudo pip uninstall six results in the same error. The output suggests using the -H flag as well, but I still get pretty much the same error:

I have disabled rootless with sudo nvram boot-args="rootless=0", and this has had no effect. Any help would be appreciated!
Answers:
You can manually install the dependencies that don’t exist on a stock 10.11 install, then install the other packages with --no-deps to ignore the dependencies. That way it will skip six (and argparse which is also already installed). This works on my 10.11 beta 6 install:
sudo pip install pbr
sudo pip install --no-deps stevedore
sudo pip install --no-deps virtualenvwrapper
And no need to disable rootless.
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper --ignore-installed six
Also works
