Dear bemserver developpers,

We would like to play and learn around the bemserver's solution for our issue, however I cant get past the installation.

$VIRTUALENVS_DIR is an environment variable that should be set to the directory where you store your virtual environments.

(Or you can consider it a placeholder and manually enter that path in every command.)

A typical value would be ~/.virtualenvs. Make sure to create that directory first.

Perhaps the doc is not explicit enough.

Thank you very much. My amateurism could'nt see that $VIRTUALENVS_DIR is just a placeholder. It is working now and I am a step further. However, as I am using the bash terminal on macOSX, unfortunately I have to stop: g++ is a compiler which is windows compatible only. Using brew instead of aptitude deosn't help either.

The doc is fine I guess, I am just a starting scripter.

Hi, in case you want to give it a try, you can install a Debian or any other Linux distributions through with a VirtualBox on your MacOSX: https://www.virtualbox.org/ We have only tested the installation of BEMServer on Debian at the moment.
