I really hope the wiki page is valid for 64b Ubuntu. I'll test it out later this week. I'm thinking about removing the 32b instructions and making it more obvious that we don't officially support 32b builds. If users want to help create a page for 32b builds like https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Installing-NuPIC-on-32b-Ubuntu then that would be great. --------- Matt Taylor OS Community Flag-Bearer Numenta
