numpy won't install for me

[Lidia Toscano]

Hi, I am running Debian GNU/Linux 8 on a BBB.  I have been trying to download numpy but when I use pip install numpy the installation process crashes.  

I've been using the following process: http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.10.1/user/install.html#id6

root@beaglebone:~# python setup.py install

python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

root@beaglebone:~#

root@beaglebone:~# python setup.py build_ext --inplace

python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

root@beaglebone:~#

 

Your help appreciated!

So what error messages does it generate?

No surprise if you don't have the download in the first place... Or
extracted the contents of the download into a directory... OR CD'd into the
directory with the package contents (you're still in the root home
directory -- at the least the package should be in a subdirectory
somewhere)

$ ls .

Would determine if the script is in the current working directory.

Now, that is an interesting thought.  When I go out and look for instructions on downloading packages, the instructions usually only say to

pip install . . . . whatever.  They never specify sub directories.  This is somewhat confusing for the newbies like me because installations just do their thing and I never really know where to find the installed packages.  If I save all of the script on the screen, I can then look for the path but this is a tedious way of "knowing" where packages are installed.

As it turns out, I input the instructions again and left the laptop for a long while and then . . . ta da!  numpy was installed.  Because it took so long to install, I thought it had crashed.  Apparently it was still working in the background. 

Thanks for all of your assistance
