What is the problem?
Trying to setup Octoprint via pip on Centos 7 server:
pip install octoprint -> "no matching distribution found for octoprint"

How can I fix this?

Thanks!

In a case like this, it sounds like you might need to install it manually.

sudo yum install unzip
# Create the virtual environment
cd ~
virtualenv oprint
# Get the code
mkdir ~/OctoPrint
cd ~/OctoPrint
wget https://github.com/foosel/OctoPrint/archive/1.3.12.zip
unzip 1.3.12.zip
cd somewhere # (Do an ls and find out what folder is here, then cd into it)
# Activate the virtual environment
source ~/oprint/bin/activate
# Install OctoPrint from your local folder
pip install .

OctoPrint requires at least python 2.7.9. 2.7.5 is way way way too old.

Thank you for the reply.

This works as well!

That's true, infact the installation fails with the error:
OctoPrint requires Python '>=2.7.9,<3' but the running Python is 2.7.5

I have installed the 2.7.9 version but I'm not able to use it...

[root@sircentos ~]# python --version
Python 2.7.5
[root@sircentos ~]# python2.7 --version
Python 2.7.9

[root@sircentos OctoPrint]# virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python2.7 venv
Running virtualenv with interpreter /usr/bin/python2.7
New python executable in /root/OctoPrint/venv/bin/python2.7

[root@sircentos OctoPrint]# source venv/bin/activate
(venv) [root@sircentos OctoPrint]# python2.7 --version
Python 2.7.5

How can I solve?

Thanks.

Solved:
recompiling python was the solution, with some plus:

yum install openssl openssl-devel

cd /tmp/Python-2.7.9 [-setup folder-]
./configure
make
make altinstall

cd ~/OctoPrint
virtualenv -p python2.7 venv
source venv/bin/activate

Thanks.
