Try running it from ~/pyrobot/bin/./pyrobot to see if that is working correctly, if so it’s something to do with the bashrc file rather than the install which is good. If it doesn’t work like that, please post the output, otherwise check you have the following line (export PATH=${PATH}:/home/YOURUSERNAMEHERE/pyrobot/bin) at the bottom of your bashrc file (gedit ~/.bashrc)

Nevermind, it turns out that the last line of ~/.bashrc had an apostrophe before the export command.

However, I still can’t start pyrobot from the terminal (after finishing the tutorial). I didn’t receive any errors when I ran “sudo chmod -R 777 ~/pyrobot” so I don’t know why it isn’t working. When I run “pyrobot” in the terminal, it tells me that the command was not found.

I followed your tutorial for a 64bit Ubuntu install but it still doesn’t work right… When I used “source ~/.bashrc” it said that “export: command not found”. Now after rebooting my computer, the terminal has that message at the top. Any ideas?

Sorry I have no experience installing under Windows 7, the official instructions are here: http://pyrorobotics.org/?page=PyroInstallation

Otherwise it might be an idea to try using the Live CD (http://pyrorobotics.org/?page=PyroLiveCD) but again I have not used this.
