I have been using Arduino for a while but I am new to the Yun and could use some advice on the Linux side. I am accessing the Linux side through SSH and trying to install pip but I am getting the following error:
root@Arduino:~# easy_install pip
Searching for pip
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/pip/
Couldn't find index page for 'pip' (maybe misspelled?)
Scanning index of all packages (this may take a while)
Reading http://pypi.python.org/simple/
No local packages or download links found for pip
error: Could not find suitable distribution for Requirement.parse('pip')
I did the following in this this order and they all worked except for pip:
opkg update
opkg install distribute
opkg install python-openssl
easy_install pip
I did search around and I found two other people who had similar errors and they resolved it by updating OpenWrt. I followed the instructions here and upgraded but the error remains the same.
You're only allowed one thread per topic here. If you create multiple threads that's crossposting, which is against the rules and will cause one of your threads to be deleted.
If you need to have a thread moved to a different section you should click the "Report to moderator" link at the bottom of your post and ask nicely for the moderator to move your thread to the desired section. In the future please take the time to look through the forum sections to find the most appropriate section before posting.
Try this: when you configure any package install from PyPi, point to https (NOT http). PyPi made the switchover not too long ago and some packages are still using the unsecured route.
