The first assignment for Coursera's Introduction to Data Science focuses on sentiment analysis of twitter data. To do this the oauth2 package needs to be installed. Following the style outlined in my Install Python packages on Ubuntu 14.04 post, I will use pip to install the package as a user:
$ pip install --user oauth2
If we use pip show, we can set that the
package is installed locally:
$ pip show oauth2
---
Name: oauth2
Version: 1.5.211
Location: /home/cstrelioff/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
Requires: httplib2
The required httplib2 package is not
installed because this
is already present in the default Python setup for Ubuntu 14.04:
$ pip show httplib2
---
Name: httplib2
Version: 0.8
Location: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
Requires:
Note the install location at
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
instead of
/home/cstrelioff/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.
