I can provide some insight into the confusion. The nupic-darwin64
repository is a collection of pre-compiled python dependencies for OS X,
along with some scripts to prepend the dependencies to your environment.
Up until very recently, the master branch of
https://github.com/numenta/nupic-darwin64 was out of date, and built
specifically for python 2.6. Meanwhile, the build process has changed from
build.sh, which no longer exists, to one that is CMake-based. The
python-2.7 branch was recently updated, and so I just merged it into master.
That said, if you're running Anaconda, you don't technically need
nupic-darwin64, and can bypass those instructions. But, you may want to
try again now that it's been updated. You should be able to pull in the
latest, run the activate script, and move forward with building nupic:
cd $NUPIC_ENV
deactivate_nupic
git reset --hard
git clean -fd
git pull origin master
source bin/activate
cd $NUPIC
mkdir -p build/scripts
cd build/scripts
rm -rf *
rm -rf $BUILDDIR
cmake $NUPIC
make -j3
