This doesn’t look good. I haven’t tried getting NuPIC installed on Kubuntu in a long time. Can you try running the simple hotgym example without swarming?

```auto
> cd examples/opf/clients/hotgym/simple
> python hotgym.py
INFO: __main__ :After 100 records, 1-step altMAPE=38.390240
INFO: __main__ :After 200 records, 1-step altMAPE=29.214768

```

If you get output like this, NuPIC is probably installed properly. There may still be a problem with swarming, however.
