Install python package zipline on cloud 9 environment Support workspace python
<p>I am trying to install python on the cloud 9 environment.</p>

<p>I simply did below, from the <a href="http://www.zipline.io/install.html" rel="nofollow">installation tutorial</a>:</p>

<pre><code>pip install zipline
</code></pre>

<p>However, I get:</p>

<pre><code>Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip_build_ubuntu/zipline
Storing debug log for failure in /home/ubuntu/.pip/pip.log
</code></pre>

<p>My full log looks like the following:</p>

<p>Any suggestions, why it is not working?</p>

<p>I appreciate your replies!</p>

<p>As recommended by <code>zipline</code>'s <a href="http://www.zipline.io/install.html#installing-with-pip" rel="nofollow">documentation</a>, this answer uses a virtualenv where we use <code>pip</code> to install and manage <code>zipline</code> and its dependencies.</p>

<p>First, go to the terminal in your Cloud9 IDE to update the package lists and install the necessary <a href="http://www.zipline.io/install.html#gnu-linux" rel="nofollow">dependencies</a> and <code>python-virtualenv</code>:</p>

<pre><code>sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libatlas-base-dev python-dev gfortran pkg-config libfreetype6-dev python-virtualenv
</code></pre>

<p>Note that <code>numpy</code> is required but unfortunately, the <code>python-numpy</code> package in the Ubuntu 14.04 repositories is too old for <code>zipline</code>, so we use <code>pip</code> instead to install <code>numpy</code>.</p>

<p>Now, create a virtualenv at your project directory, activate the virtualenv, upgrade <code>pip</code> and <code>setuptools</code>, and then install <code>numpy</code> and <code>zipline</code>:</p>

<pre><code>virtualenv venv  # create a virtualenv called venv
source venv/bin/activate  # activate virtualenv
pip install -U pip setuptools  # upgrade pip and setuptools
pip install numpy  # install numpy
pip install zipline  # install zipline
</code></pre>

<p>The <code>pip</code> installation for <code>zipline</code> will take a while; please be patient. Once you are done working in the virtualenv, deactivate it by running:</p>

<pre><code>deactivate
</code></pre>
