debugging error in xively tutorial for raspberry pi

Question

I am new to Raspberry pi and xively and during running the tutorial from xively itself

"https://xively.com/dev/tutorials/pi"

, I had debugging errors as follows:

"Requirement already up-to-date: xively-python in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages Requirement already up-to-date: requests>=1.1.0 in /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (from xively-python) Cleaning up..."

I guess xivelyAPIs or some other requirements are not installed properly, but I have followed the steps in the mentioned tutorial very carefully and for couple of times from top to bottom. So Im sure that there is nothing I have missed in the tutorial document.

please let me know if anybody knows any solutions to this problem.

Answer 1

There are no errors in the output you're showing.

If you were trying to install xively-python, this means that you already had an up-to-date version of that package, and everything it depends on, so pip didn't need to do anything. Which is fine.

If you were trying to install something else, which depends on xively-python, it means that pip checked xively-python, saw that it was up-to-date, and proceeded on to install everything else. Which is also fine.

Either way, there's no problem.

In general, you can tell that pip failed if it ends with something like "Storing complete log in /home/foo/.pip/pip.log".

If you need to be absolutely sure that pip succeeded, and don't understand the results, you can always follow the pip command with this:

echo $?

0 means success; 2 means pip didn't understand your arguments; anything else (usually 1) means pip got an error.
