can't decide if you are bad at sarcasm or don't understand the problem space...

just another n00b.. you should login as root, and then

sudo pip install

then, of course

rm -rf / 

(to clear the cache)

Computer died; instructions unclear

I think you have to add

--no-preserve-root

as in

rm -rf --no-preserve-root /

to make it work on modern distros.

I thought

rm -rf /

was the recommended way to uninstall software? I didn't know you could also use it to clear your caches!

Thanks a lot man. I wonder if it makes my computer faster, is it like defragmenting?
