IOError: [Errno 28] No space left on device while installing TensorFlow

Usually, You can set the environment variable 'TMPDIR' to use a different directory other than /tmp or /var/tmp and most programs will honour that.

You can perhaps try,

$ export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp

and then start your 'pip install'

You might be able to use 'pip install -b /some/other/dir' which changes the build dir.

You can also change the wheel dir as can be seen herehttps://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/user_guide/#installation-bundles

Running pip help install will get you the other dir options as well.

-b, --build <dir>           Directory to unpack packages into and build in.-t, --target <dir>          Install packages into <dir>. By default this will not replace existing files/folders in <dir>. Use --upgrade to replace existing packages in <dir> with new versions.-d, --download <dir>        Download packages into <dir> instead of installing them, regardless of what is already installed.--src <dir>                 Directory to check out editable projects into. The default in a virtualenv is "<venv path>/src". The default for global installs is "<current dir>/src".

Create tmp folder on /home/myuser then execute in Terminal "export TMPDIR=/home/$USER/tmp"
