Can't configure blockstack in Lubuntu

#1

When I type blockstack configure in the terminal, this is the response:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/usr/local/bin/blockstack”, line 42, in

ImportError: No module named _scrypt

How can I solve this?

Hey @corvalanlara,

Sorry to see you’re getting stuck. Can you try the following?

$ sudo pip uninstall scrypt
$ sudo pip install scrypt

The uninstall command may report an error, but that’s okay. The root of the problem is that the scrypt maintainer has a weird way of packaging it that can sometimes cause this to happen.

Oh my, I can’t believe that was all I needed for this to work. Thanks a lot!
