There are two ways to edit .bashrc. One is to open the file in a text
editor and the other to use the terminal. But if you are using vagrant, you
will not be given a GUI.

I know that using vagrant has its own advantages, but for the time being
let me suggest what worked for me. I use linux mint. Here is what you have
to do :

1. Download and install virtual box on your windows pc
2. Download and run any ubuntu version greater than 12.04. The instructions
on the wiki were tested on 12.04 LTS
3. Run the virtual machine, install ubuntu on the virtual machine. You will
find instructions here :
http://askubuntu.com/questions/142549/how-to-install-ubuntu-on-virtualbox
4. Boot the ubuntu, log in. You should follow these instructions :
https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Installing-NuPIC-on-Ubuntu
5. Assuming that you have cloned the nupic repo and installed the
specifically mentioned packages, you are now ready to set up .bashrc
6. As I said, .bashrc is a hidden file on your home directory. To see it,
do the following :
           a) presst ctrl+alt+t on the desktop. (Or run the terminal by
clicking at the appropriate places)
           b) To 'see' if .bashrc exists, type in 'ls -a' on the terminal
and press enter. Among the huge list you get, you should be able to sport
.bashrc
           c) There are two ways to edit, one by opening it on notepad.
type 'gedit .basrc' to open it in notepad and view/edit the contents. The
instructions Matt gave are not to be entered into .bashrc directly. The
instructions are *commands *that should be typed on the *terminal *so that
the system will edit .bashrc. So once you are satisfied by seeing that the
file exists, close the notepad application and go back to your terminal.
Now type the following lines into the terminal, pressing enter after each
line :

export NTA=${HOME}/nta/eng
export NUPIC=${HOME}/nupic
export BUILDDIR=/tmp/ntabuild
export MK_JOBS=3
source ${NUPIC}/env.sh




That should be enough to set up the environment. Remember to substitute NTA
and NUPIC variable values with the location where you are keeping your
nupic files and the intended build location respectively. Now before you
use pip to install the python repositories, type this into the terminal :
'sudo apt-get remove python-dateutils'. After the package is removed, type
in

pip install --user -r $NUPIC/external/common/requirements.txt

That would take care of the dependencies. Now go on and build nupic. Be
sure to tell us if it worked. All the best
