Package management in python is sometimes tricky. To avoid these issues, I recommend using Anaconda which is a good python package and environment manager (download here, and 30 minutes guide).

Follow the official instructions to install Anaconda and chose the default values that will add Anaconda to your $PATH and make Anaconda your default python interpreter. Then open your terminal and use the following commands :

  • conda install pip six nose numpy scipy
  • pip install theano

Then try running your script using anaconda.
