Did you installed python library before running the example ...? if not sudo pip install adafruit-mcp3008 , install the library first .

This library is no longer supported. We have written a library called Adafruit Blinka that allows for using CircuitPython libraries on SBCs with GPIO. Please see the Adafruit CircuitPython MCP3xxx library for using the MCP3008.
