I had to

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

.
Then it threw me some errors so i had to do

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

.
Then again

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

.
Finally

sudo pip3 install RPi.GPIO

.
Its all good now Thanks

Hey，i want to use gpio in ubuntu mate.But when i install RPi.GPIO in python , i got 5 warnings and the gpio control is no effect. How did you solve this problem?

[JosePeres]

I just did a new installation of of "Ubuntu MATE 15.04 for Raspberry Pi 2" with the following image on
http://master.dl.sourceforge.net/projec ... -2.img.bz2

After I follow this procedure:
+++++++++++++++++++++
This tutorial asssumes basic knowledge of the raspberry pi’s (or linux) terminal.

Since Raspberry Pis currently come with a slightly outdated version of Python 3, you may want to update it to a more recent version. The following instructions should work for any version of python – Python 3.4 is used here as an example. It is assumed that you are using the raspberry pi or another Linux operating system at all times.

Step 1: Go to the Python Download Page, and download the source release for the version of python that you want to use. Make sure that you are downloading the “Gzipped source tarball”.

Step 2: Open a terminal and cd to an empty temporary directory that we can use to extract the python source release.

Step 3: Type the following to extract the source code of your chosen version of python: tar -vxzf /home/pi/python-3.4.0.tgz.
Replace /home/pi/python-3.4.0.tar.gz

Step 4: cd into the resulting directory.

Step 5: Enter the following commands in succession:
./configure
make
make test
sudo make install
This will build and install python. If you are doing this for Python 2, it will install as Python 2 – Python 3 will install as Python 3. You can have both installed at once. Warning: It will take a long time! Do not attempt this until you have a few hours to spare.

It means it's the python version make this problem? Can you tell me the python version you are using?

[JosePeres]

that's my python3 version:

Python 3.4.3 (default, Mar 26 2015, 23:09:09)
[GCC 4.9.2] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

but I'm getting new problems now:
>>> import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
>>> GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
>>> GPIO.setup( 1, GPIO.OUT)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
RuntimeError: No access to /dev/mem. Try running as root!

If I run python with super user, using "sudo python3" when running:
>>> GPIO.setup( 1, GPIO.OUT)
. . . . python3 crash!!!!!!!
so, I can not find a way to fix this problem with my raspberry pi 2 model b using ubuntu!
sorry I'm not able to fix this!

I cant get RPi.GPIO working.

I have tried:
sudo apt-get -y install python-rpi.GPIO but it cant find that package.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install rpi.gpio

When I run python3 I have GPIO version 0.5.11
On python I get no module named RPi.GPIO.

Help?
