72 <p>I only run Ubuntu @Home. So I need to have my Yubikey Neo work @Home. Follow my thought process here...<br><br>I go to your website and find https://www.yubico.com/faq/enable-u2f-linux/. I download it an extract it. There are absolutely no instructions about how to install this! There is a setup.py file however it doesn't run. Hey have you heard of this great invention called the shebang line? Google it. It'll flip you out! <br><br>Sticking "python" in front of that script I get this wonderful error message:<br><br><blockquote><tt>Earth:python setup.py <br>no previously-included directories found matching 'doc/.build'<br><br>Installed /tmp/yubikey-neo-manager-0.2.5/nose-1.3.4-py2.7.egg<br>usage: setup.py [global_opts] cmd1 [cmd1_opts] [cmd2 [cmd2_opts] ...]<br> or: setup.py --help [cmd1 cmd2 ...]<br> or: setup.py --help-commands<br> or: setup.py cmd --help<br><br>error: no commands supplied<br></tt></blockquote>Gee, what am I to make of that? Should I explore the depths of this setup.py or... Wait, there's a README... Let's look:<br><blockquote><tt>=== Installation</tt><tt><br></tt><tt>The recommended way to install this software including dependencies is by using</tt><tt><br></tt><tt>the provided precompiled binaries for your platform. For Windows and OS X,</tt><tt><br></tt><tt>there are installers available for download</tt><tt><br></tt><tt>https://developers.yubico.com/yubikey-neo-manager/Releases/[here].</tt><tt><br></tt></blockquote>Wondering why a README file for a Linux installation would be talking about Windows and MAC at all!...<br><blockquote><tt>For Ubuntu we have a custom PPA with a package for it</tt><tt><br></tt><tt>https://launchpad.net/~yubico/+archive/ubuntu/stable[here].</tt><tt><br></tt></blockquote>OK, wait a sec! Didn't I just download what I needed to install this? What's this "and now go download this from here..." crap? Further on in this README file is talk about Windows installation and Mac OS/X crap but nothing else about Linux. <br><br>OK so what's this https://lanchpad.net/~yubico/+archive/ubuntu/stable thing? A ppa. Alright. So I set that up. Now what do I do?!? Dead end. Instructions lead to a dead end.<br><br>OK so back to that setup.py. I learn I can do python setup.py install. After doing so, what? What am I supposed to do?!?<br><br>Needless to say your Linux installation leave a hellofva lot to be desired!</p>
