good

what did it say? did it complete successfully?

if pip is from canopy and you see no error then typing in (i)python

import mne

should really work.

yum uninstall python-pip

?

don't hesitate to paste error messages.

PS : we're going to improve the getting started doc...
PS2 : if you really struggle get rid of canopy and give a try to
anaconda installing it in your home folder without root access.
