--pre ....no such option...

[Norbert JORDAN]

Hi, i right now switch from Pi to Cubietruck.....having some troubles with installation...

cubie@Cubian:~/weather$ sudo pip install pywws --pre
Usage: /usr/bin/pip install [OPTIONS] PACKAGE_NAMES...

/usr/bin/pip install: error: no such option: --pre


.....I also asked myself if initially I did have this --pre thing added as for the Pi I do not remember this...

Any idea what is going wrong here?

Thanks a lot! Norbert

btw, is with Cubian/Debian at Cubietruck anything special or just to follow the procedures?

You're using an older version of pip that doesn't have the --pre option.
You should probably update pip: 'sudo pip install -U pip'.

sorry Jim, thanks for the feedback...in the meantime i did manage without the pre option and now updating PIP...

short sidequestion, for a cubietruck A20, is there any recommended USB lib that comes as a ready package to install?

I know nothing about cubietruck, but if it uses a Linux OS then pyusb
should work.

thanks Jim, great did take your choice already after studying the docs I found on the web.

Cubietruck is one of the alternatives (singleboard PC) to Raspberrry PI, little more expensive but powerful like an elefant.....Debian running on it. thanks a lot for your support since I started with my weatherstation some months back....great job!!!!
