Continue to get error that python-dev cannot be found… For some reason your install keeps overwriting what is already installed and then fails. I then do apt-get -f install and it reinstalls the newer python 3.2-dev libraries.

Hi @ctaylor,

Welcome to the Cayenne Community. This is a known issue with Jessie Lite. There is a workaround here:

Let us know if you continue with issues? (We’re working to officially support Jessie Lite).

Ah, didn’t realize I was using Jessie lite - Pretty sure I had installed from the regular Jessie tree, not the lite source tree.

No worries! Let us know if you are still having issues?

Were you able to get the install to work?

In my case it was resolved with sudo apt-get install python3-pip
