Install error on ubuntu 14.04

[mgruen]

Forgive me if this is a basic mistake, but I've checked everything I can think of -
apt-get update and upgrade as of 2016.04.10

root@:~# python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)
[GCC 4.8.2] on linux2

(tried running as sudo as well)

apparently Python.h is not found:

It sounds like you don't have the python dev package isntalled.
You could try running this:
sudo apt-get install python-dev

And then installing locust as normal.
