Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1

Question

Installing Caffe for Ubuntu 16.04 with this Install Guide.

When I run:

for req in $(cat requirements.txt); do pip install $req; done

I get:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-build-SkgwMK/ipython/

What is it that I'm missing?

You're only showing the last line of the error message, the actual error should be a few lines earlier. — Timo, Jul 30 '17 at 08:03
That for-loop can also be replaced by pip install -r requirements.txt. Not sure why they do it like that. — Timo, Jul 30 '17 at 08:05

You have to install python-setuptools and python-dev first. To do so, open a terminal and type:

sudo apt-get install python-setuptools & python-dev -y
