Question

I’m trying to get started on Django via Heroku. Their guide recommends I install psycopg2.

I installed Django and some dj-library manager of some kind with pip with no problems, but psycopg2 kept demanding files I didn’t have. Some solutions recommended installing python-dev and another package, but I decided to try sudo apt-get and it worked, and even pip recognizes psycopg2 as installed now.

The only problem is that I ran the console for the failed installation in my newly minted “Projects” folder, and now there’s a Build folder sitting there waiting for pip to finish the job it started. How do I get rid of it?

Also, I am really new at Ubuntu/Django/Python-in-linux, so feel free to correct any misunderstandings I’ve gathered so far.

Answer 1

Maybe you’re not doing a recursive rm:

sudo rm -r Build

If sudo is working properly, there are very few reasons access would be denied.
