Install issue: FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'README.rst'

[ghost]

If I am installing the library using pip3 I am getting:

$ sudo pip3 install pymix
[sudo] password for stefan: 
The directory '/home/stefan/.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.
