Trouble Installing Plotly on a Sage VirtualBox

I am trying to use plotly on a virtual box vm using the downloaded virtual machine image of SageMath.

I can get to the command line, <right-ctrl and="" f1="">

I did not have pip which is used to install plotly but got it with

"sudo yum -y install python-pip"

then ran pip to get plotly

"sudo /usr/bin/pip-python ///install plotly"

back in sage <right-ctrl and="" f2="">

"import plotly"

fails

but at the linux command line

"python"

"import plotly"

works, so possibly I installed to the wrong copy of python?

from http://ask.sagemath.org/question/3481... also tried some variaions on "sage --python /usr/bin/pip-python install" all of which failed

any help?
