Errors while trying to use pip on OpenShift

I am getting the following error both when using git and when logging in via rhc and try to install the requirements file:

The directory '/var/lib/openshift/***/.cache/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.
You are using pip version 7.1.0, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

I am not trying to install with sudo.
What I am trying to do is:

  1. Log into via rhc and and ssh: rhc ssh 'app'
  2. activate venv: source $OPENSHIFT_PYTHON_DIR/virtenv/bin/activate
  3. pip install -r "$OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR" requirements.txt

Note that $OPENSHIFT_PYTHON_DIR and $OPENSHIFT_REPO_DIR are the environment variables given by OpenShift to access the relevant folders.

Any ideas? I am on a Python 2.7 cartridge.

Openshift will automatically install your dependencies based on a requirements.txt file. So you shouldn't ssh into your app and do that yourself.

You can find more information about it on the developer center pages. [1]
