Hi, i've run pip3 install --user dostoevsky

and got the bunch of errors:

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

RuntimeError: pybind11 install failed.
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-v13qqonj/fasttext/

How can i install this lib?

thanks

It looks like you will need to install into a virtualenv to avoid the library trying to write to system folders that you do not have permissions to write to.
