Raspberry PiにChainerをpipでインストールした

「interface(2017,8月号）」の記事　ラズパイでディープ・ラーニング初体験・・音でお菓子認識をやってみようと、ラズパイにchainerをインストールしようとしたが、うまくいきません。
以下状況


pi@raspberrypi03:~ $ sudo pip install chainer==1.24.0

で、色々記事を見て
１．pipの再インストールしてもだめ。
２．proxyが邪魔して遅いせいだという説
　　は、関係無さそう

ということで、
３．日本語環境という記事

で、utf-8を設定して
piユーザー権限で、sudo無しで
pip install chainer==1.24.0
で成功しました。
