Docs installing python-colorama #57

Closed peteruithoven closed 8 years ago

peteruithoven commented 8 years ago

The readme mentiones installing python-colorama, but doesn't explain how. For people not familiar with python it would be good to explain this. I installed pip (python package manager) and used that to install colorama. 

wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py
python get-pip.py
pip install colorama

(python-colorama is not found on port (OS X, apt-get like package manager)

peteruithoven commented 8 years ago

Another way of installing, that doesn't require pip seems to be to

  1. download it manually from: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/colorama/0.3.3
  2. Extracting it
  3. Running python setup.py install inside it.

On Debian (and probably also Ubuntu), you can install the python-colorama (or python3-colorama) package.

Feel free to update the documentation on using mbed libraries, but problems installing MBED libs are not LaOS problems.

They kind of are if they increase the barrier to entry
