I personally don't use --user very often, just because I have got used
to starting a new virtualenv whenever I do something.   For example,
if I am working on dipy I might do:

mkvirtualenv dipy-work
pip install -r requirements.txt

This takes a few seconds on my machine because the relevant wheels are
built and cached.

How about raising an Issue on that repo when you run into trouble, and
we can try and add something useful on solving the problem?

I'll add something at the bottom of the page.

See you,
