Important: The Pebble SDK is officially supported on Ubuntu GNU/Linux 12.04 LTS, Ubuntu 13.04, Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

The SDK should also work on other distributions with minor adjustments.

Python version: the Pebble SDK requires Python 2.7. At this time, the Pebble SDK is not compatible with Python 3. However, some newer distributions come with both Python 2.7 and Python 3 installed, which can cause problems. You can use
python --version to determine which is being used. This means you may need to run pip2 instead of pip when prompted to do so below.
