Have you tried installing with pip?
First, make sure no old versions are installed by running this a few times:
pip uninstall nupic.bindings -y
pip uninstall nupic -y
If you’ve installed in the past with sudo, you should run the above commands with sudo. If you installed in the past with the --user flag, you should run the above commands with the --user flag. (If you’re not sure, it is safe to run all permutations of the commands above just to make sure.
Now that no NuPIC artifacts are left on your system, simply run:
pip install nupic --user
What happens?
