I am having problems installing NuPIC on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. Installation appears ok:

```
pip install . --user

  Running setup.py install for nupic ... done

```

After running tests with python scripts/run\_nupic\_tests.py get this output (meaning the installation is ok):  
`==== 711 passed, 17 skipped, 8 xfailed, 5 pytest-warnings in 415.27 seconds ====`

However, after running network example I get the following error:

```auto
    /opt/nupic$ python examples/network/network_api_demo.py 
    WARN: PyRegion::createSpec failed: 0x7ffeeb54be90
    Traceback (most recent call last):

        network = createNetwork(dataSource)
      File "examples/network/network_api_demo.py", line 144, in createNetwork
        json.dumps({}))
      File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nupic/engine/ __init__.py", line 639, in addRegion
        engine_internal.Network.addRegion(self, name, nodeType, nodeParams)
      File "/opt/nupic.core-master/bindings/py/src/nupic/bindings/engine_internal.py", line 1167, in addRegion
        return _engine_internal.Network_addRegion(self, *args, **kwargs)
    ImportError: No module named AnomalyLikelihoodRegion

```

The same error happens if I install with sudo. It also occurs on both of my machines. Do you have any ideas of what the culprit is? Thanks!

There is something wrong with this demo. [I’ll look into it](https://discourse.numenta.org/t/error-running-network-example-missing-py-anomalylikelihoodregion/2821). In the meantime, run this demo:

```
python docs/examples/network/complete-network-example.py

```

This is the same code in the [network quickstart docs](http://nupic.docs.numenta.org/1.0.3.dev0/quick-start/network.html).

The latter test did work. Thanks for a quick reply!
