I need to install pantsbuild on to an Anaconda python installation of 1.7.0. This is running on CentOS 7 and the Anaconda version cannot change. I have set the PATH so that it points to the Anaconda installation of python. So I cloned the github repo https://github.com/twitter/commons.git and tried to run ./pants. and I get the following output
Bootstrapping pants with requirements pantsbuild.pants==0.0.33

./pants: line 29: exec: pants: not found
I am thinking its a version conflict between virtualenv and Anaconda. I would appreciate any advice to resolve this issue.
Thanks
I would strongly recommend not running anything as root if at all possible.
The important bit of the error message is here:
I'm not sure what's different about Anaconda Python, but some Googling does reveal that Anaconda seems to be doing some of what virtualenv does, but differently. So maybe there's a conflict? If you just try installing and running vanilla virtualenv, that might make troubleshooting easier.
