Hi SpotlightKid !

After installing Raspbian Jessie Lite and the following packages : $ sudo apt-get install build-essential $ sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev $ sudo apt-get install libjack-dev $ sudo apt-get install python-pip $ sudo pip install python-rtmidi

I was able to make it works with the the following ....

wget https://chrisarndt.de/projects/python-rtmidi/download/python-rtmidi-0.5b1.tar.gz tar -xzf python-rtmidi-0.5b1.tar.gz cd python-rtmidi-0.5b1/ sudo python setup.py install

You need the --pre option when installing via pip, since python-rtmidis version number still classifies it as a beta release. This is mentioned in the installation documentation linked from the homepage.
