Updating Noobs to use Pibrella

[Renfield-64]

Hi

I have bought a few Pibrellas to use with the school Raspberry Pi modules. On my Pi at home I have successfully used the following commands to get what is necessary to program the Pibrella:

Sudo apt-get update

Sudo apt-get upgrade

Sudo apt-get install python-pip

Sudo pip install Pibrella

 

When I try this on my modules in school I can't get the updates with the errors shown on this screen snapshot:

Even if I take one of the SD cards home and put it in my own Pi it does the same. I can get to the internet thro' the Pi in school.

 

Any ideas?

You need to add the proxy info for them to connect

 

add your proxy to /etc/apt/apt.conf if I remember correctly with :-

 

Acquire::http::proxy "http://user:pass@yourproxyaddress:port/";

Hi

Thanks for your reply but when I type this at the command prompt I get this:

bash: Acquire::http::proxy command not found

 

(the 'p' of proxy keeps turning into a smiley in my post....Grrr)

you need to create/edit the file e.g sudo nano /etc/apt/apt.conf - put your changes in that, ctrl-X to exit and save changes

To prevent that you can either use code tags or if you hit "go advanced" you can disable smileys in your text.

Thanks all,

I found this on another post in the end which worked:

 

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::proxy="http://proxyurl:port" update

The only bit I can't get to work is the last bit: sudo pip install pibrella.

 

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http:proxy="http://proxyurlport" update

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http:proxy="http://proxyurlport" upgrade

sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http:proxy="http://proxyurlport" install python-pip

all work ok.
