Installing pyodbc failed on Linux

I just run this command: 

sudo pip install pyodbc

then I get below message and error: 

steven81@PythonWEBVM:~$ sudo pip install pyodbc
The directory '/home/steven81/.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.

Command "/usr/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-install-NR7ytY/pyodbc/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, __file__, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-record-voJYBN/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-NR7ytY/pyodbc/

I saw there is an error:

command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1 then I search in on google, it asked to run this: 

sudo apt-get install python-dev

so, I run this but get below message: 

steven81@PythonWEBVM:~$ sudo apt-get install python-dev
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
python-dev is already the newest version (2.7.12-1~16.04).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.

so what's the problem and how to install pyodbc correctlly?
