What version of pip are you using? Make sure you have these [dependencies](https://github.com/numenta/nupic#dependencies) installed. You should not need to install `nupic.bindings` directly. You should be able to run: `pip install nupic --user`, which will install it as a dependency.

I was working through the list of dependencies when I hit this snag.  
Here are the versions:

jay@jay-Virtual-Machine ~ $ pip -V  
pip 9.0.1 from /home/jay/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages (python 2.7)  
jay@jay-Virtual-Machine ~ $ python -V  
Python 2.7.12  
jay@jay-Virtual-Machine ~ $

BTW: Watched the HTM school videos. Very helpful. Thanks!

One note, I did some of the installs using ‘sudo’.  
I didn’t see the ‘–user’ option until afterward.  
Might that be part of the issue?

Maybe. Using sudo with pip can be problematic in some cases. I suggest you uninstall all the global packages and re-install with `--user`. Be sure to [uninstall nupic completely](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/uninstalling-nupic/2175) first.

Uninstalled wheel and setuptools since they were sudo’ed.  
Reinstalled using ‘–user’

Still fails ☹

Do you happen to be using a 32bit system? Or AMD?

32 bit Linux. The 64 bit support on VM’s is a bit spotty.

☹ Unfortunately, we do not support 32bit systems.

Hello, recently I’m trying to install nupic on Linux(64-bit) but fails with the hints “Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement nupic.bindings==1.0.0 (from nupic) (from versions: 1.0.1) No matching distribution found for nupic.bindings==1.0.0 (from nupic)”. The installed packages’ versions are 9.0.1-pip, 1.14.0-numpy, 0.30.0-wheel, 38.4.0-setuptools and I re-install the packages with --user. However, the problem is unsolved after I have taken many methods. How can I fix the bug?

First, make sure you have [uninstalled nupic completely](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/uninstalling-nupic/2175), then try installing again with `pip install --user` and tell me what happens.
