RE: Tutorial- How to install steem python and use steem CLI on Ubuntu 16.04
Great info, thanks a lot. I am trying hard, and making progress. This bit is not working. The error msg is
could not import setuptools which is required to install from a sourde distribution. Please install setuptools.
I cannot install setuptools. Been trying a lot of things I found, with no luck. Can you help me?
Try
sudo pip3 install -U setuptoolsGood! setuptools installed! Let's see how I do from here.
Thanks so much. Steempy : command not found. I make progress little by little! The steem installation was long, but I think did not go completely well because there is a long message at the end that starts with EXCEPTION
Whats the exception error?
Thanks so much for your reply.
I ran this command again:
pip3 install -U steem
I did not get the exception error this time, apparently. This is the error message this time:
Command "/usr/bin/python3 -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;file='/tmp/pip-build-qyjiki0u/diff-match-patch/setup.py';f=getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(file);code=f.read().replace('\r\n', '\n');f.close();exec(compile(code, file, 'exec'))" install --record /tmp/pip-ac2_k6gd-record/install-record.txt --single-version-externally-managed --compile" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-qyjiki0u/diff-match-patch/
try installing as superuser
sudo pip3 install -U steemThank you for your great help and your patience. I did as you say. The process starts with this message, in yellow:

hmm..seems like your missing some dependency, i'd suggest upgrading to newer python version and then try
Thank you so much.
I have Anaconda installed in my Windows machine. I do not know how to upgrade python in my Linux machine. Can I do all this in Anaconda, perhaps in a Jupyter notebook? Or maybe you can give some guidance on how to upgrade python in my linux mint installation. I have tried different ways, with no luck. I do not even remember what I did, but I tried. Same thing with pip. I recieve messages that I have an old version, 8.1.1, but when I do as the message says to upgrade to 9.0.1, I receive a message that the system is already up to date.
