Despite all the GitHub instructions on how to get NuPic installed, I’m still
having difficulty. I know a lot about the brain and neuromimetic algorithms,
but I don’t know much about GitHub, Python, git, brew, pip, etc. which is
making installation difficult. I’m also not used to the mailing list format.
It seems that there is no way to search through the archives except to step
through the messages. Please let me know if there’s an easier way.
So here are a few installation questions. I’m on OS X 10.9 so I followed the
instruction for getting homebrew and pip. No errors reported. Then I cloned
the nupic-darwin64 repository and activated it. At that point $NUPIC is empty
but the next instruction (from the nupic-darwin64 repository) says to:
$NUPIC/build.sh
Is this correct? It makes no sense to me. Do I need to make/build things in
the nupic-darwin64 directory first? If I should be running a build script,
where is it located?
Furthermore, instructions in the nupic repository say to:
pip install -r external/common/requirements.txt
I’m not sure what this means but I stored the requirements.txt file in an
arbitrary location (why does the line above use external/common? Should I have
that in my directory tree somewhere?) but got:
File "/Users/roosmj1/Code/nupic-darwin64/bin/pip", line 5, in <module>
from pkg_resources import load_entry_point
File
"/Applications/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-2.2-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 2720, in <module>
File
"/Applications/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-2.2-py2.7.egg/pkg_resources.py",
line 588, in resolve
pkg_resources.DistributionNotFound: pip==1.4.1
Obviously I installed anaconda in the past. Is that a problem? Should I be
getting the above error?
I’m so confused that I’m not really sure what questions to be asking here. Any
advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Matt
