Thanks again.

It would appear that I don't have pip installed.   (see below)

I found instructions on their site on how to do that and of course it doesn't work for some reason.  I will get to to him me set up pip and then try again tomorrow and hope I can get a bit further.  I will let you know things progress, when they progress that is.

Cheers, Francis

apt-get not found or disabled. Proceeding on the rash assumption that your compiled dependencies are in place.
If this is not the case, please install the following and try again:
* A C and C++ compiler (for example gcc/g++ or clang), GNU make
* A Fortran compiler (for PETSc)
* MPI
* Blas and Lapack
* Git, Mercurial
* Python version 2.7
* pip and the Python headers
* autoconf, automake, libtool
* CMake
* zlib
