I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2, on which I try to install
Python 3.6.1. I have done this multiple times in the past, but for some
reason I tried it 3 times since yesterday but I kept having the same
error message. Here are the steps that i have taken for my installation:

|$ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get upgrade $ wget
https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.1/Python-3.6.1.tar.xz $ tar xvf
Python-3.6.1.tar.xz $ sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
$ sudo apt-get install libreadline-gplv2-dev libncursesw5-dev libssl-dev
libsqlite3-dev tk-dev libgdbm-dev libc6-dev libbz2-dev $ cd
Python-3.6.1$ ./configure $ sudo make altinstall|

After the last command the following message will popup at some point:

    The directory '/home/mariejosv/.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.

    The directory '/home/mariejosv/.cache/pip' or its parent directory
    is not owned by the current user and caching wheels has been
    disabled. check the permissions and owner of that directory. If
    executing pip with sudo, you may want sudo's -H flag.

How can I fix this?
