Trouble using command line tools for python (Mac OSX)

[Kyle Kelly]

Using Terminal, I followed the steps here http://python.openxcplatform.com/en/master/installation.html for Mac OSX and found that I have python 2.7.10. I was also able to download Homebrew and install the USB backend as well.

I have also downloaded the openxc library from github https://github.com/openxc/openxc-python but I am not sure how to proceed. Do I need to install anything?

I would like to test by running using these command line tools http://python.openxcplatform.com/en/master/tools/tools.html specifically "openxc-control version" but the command is not recognzied. Perhaps I am not in the correct directory?

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Kyle,

How did you install the openxc-python library? Did you do

[sudo] pip install -U openxc

from: http://python.openxcplatform.com/en/master/installation.html#install-the-openxc-package

or 

$ git clone https://github.com/openxc/openxc-python
$ cd openxc-python
$ pip install -e .

from: http://python.openxcplatform.com/en/master/installation.html#using-the-development-version

Also, doublecheck your $path to make sure python is included.

Regards,

Eric

I was able to work my way through this just after I posted but thanks so much for the reply. My pip was not installed properly. Currently working my way through another issue but I will create another thread.
