Installing the Numenta Platform

Question

I want to install the Numenta Platform in Ubuntu12.4.

It created by python 2.5 and for Ubuntu 9.4.

You can see the installing step and requerment in the below link The Numenta installing help

But in Ubuntu 12.4 we have the python 2.7 and upper so when I tried to play the Numenta Platform faced to this error:

ImportError: libpython2.5.so.1.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

After I inserted this commands in .bashrc file to change the python path to my Platform folder:

NTA=$HOME/nta 
export PATH=$NTA/bin:$PATH 
export PYTHONPATH=$NTA/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

But faced to the recent error again. It seems that the Platform is using from python2.5 yet. I don't know how can I run The Numenta Platform now.

Thanks for attention.

You could try installing Python2.5 via the DeadSnakes repository:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python2.5
