When you receive the following error after:

$ sudo pip install blinkstick Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/bin/pip", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('pip==8.1.1', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip-8.1.1-py2.7.egg/pip/__init__.py", line 215, in main locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') File "/usr/lib/python2.7/locale.py", line 579, in setlocale return _setlocale(category, locale) locale.Error: unsupported locale setting

export your locale settings using:

$ export LC_ALL=C

And BlickStick will install properly.
