As it is mentioned here, you can create a directory where you have enough space, say /folder/address/here/, and run below command to install it:

TMPDIR=/folder/address/here/ pip install --cache-dir=/folder/address/here/ --build /folder/address/here/ package-name

Since my own case was upgrading tensorflow, I ran this:

TMPDIR=/folder/address/here/ pip install --upgrade --cache-dir=/folder/address/here/ --build /folder/address/here/ tensorflow
