Failed to clone Habitat-Sim and Habitat-api

[phongnhhn92]

Hello,
I have tried to clone and install Habitat-Sim and Habitat-api within conda environment using this command as suggested from the instructions:
pip install git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim.git@a674c5c13683a117c06820c54f5bec9c1775800d
However, it return a lot of errors which seems to be related to pip "Permission denied" within conda environment.

I wonder how to fix this ? I believe I should not use sudo because if I do so then I will install habitat-sim into the system pip, not the one in the conda environment.

Please folow the instructions in habitat-sim repository to install. You have to do a python setup.py install, also if you still face the access denied issue try using the --user flag.

Hi, I tried again today with this command still the same error:
python3 setup.py install --headless --user
I think the problem is this error :
Failed to create temporary file for /home/phong/.ccache/tmp/tmp.cpp_stderr: Permission denied
which means I dont have access in the conda environment.

Update:
I am still not to be able to install habitat-sim on the conda environment but somehow I found a hack way to install it on my global system by changing a few things in the build.sh and cmake dependencies.

I'm going to close this issue and recommend that you open it on the main habitat-sim page https://github.com/facebookresearch/habitat-sim/issues
