Installation issue

[lvnilesh]

I setup edX in vagrant virtualbox using production setup instructions from edX git repo then I cloned this repo

vagrant ssh
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/xblock-officemix.git
cd xblock-officemix
pip install -r requirements.txt 

failed so I tried

sudo pip install -r requirements.txt

Then I enabled in studio as described at https://github.com/OfficeDev/xblock-officemix/blob/master/README.md#enabling-in-studio

However, I do not see OfficeMix when I select advanced as described https://github.com/OfficeDev/xblock-officemix/blob/master/README.md#usage

Q1. What am I missing? Q2. Is ~/ the correct location to clone? Q3. Is the master correct brand to pull from? I do not see any release or stable marking or others tags in the git repo yet. Q4. Is virtualenv usage expected? This vagrantbox with edx gets deployed with virtualenv already but your documentation is silent so I was not sure. If so, how do I set up so that officemix can be deployed correctly in the edX?

Take a look at the "Deploying to edx-platform" here: https://antoviaque.org/docs/edx/xblock/tutorial.html which provides some nice instructions.

I had cloned the repository outside of the vagrant instance and then mapped it. Although I think cloning within it should work as well. But I believe you need to install as the edxapp user (i.e. do sudo su edxapp prior to the above). You also want to make sure to tweak some of the default values to allow the use of xblocks.

After that I think it should show up.

And yeah master is the correct place to pull from. Adding in a version is a good idea too. I'll look to add a tag.

Is this problem solved? Same here. I ran every single command and it didn't work.

[kurtb]

Should be solved and still working. What problem do you run into when you try to run it?

[mandichen]

@kurtb The Xblock didn't show up in the Advanced component after last step sudo pip install -r requirements.txt So I ran the following command instead, problem solved. sudo -u edxapp /edx/bin/pip.edxapp install xblock-officemix/ Thank you anyway.

[lvnilesh]

Still did not work for me.

Please consider updating the README.md with explicity clear instructions.
