[mmccombe]

ISSUE TYPE

• Documentation Report

  SUMMARY

When running the command below:

wget --no-check-certificate https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py

Which is specified in the setup documentation for both Ubuntu and CentOS on the following page:

http://cloudmesh.github.io/client/system.html

A 404 error is received (full error below)

SUGGESTED SOLUTION

I found that setuptools had been moved from bitbucket to github. I was able to run the following command successfully to retrieve ez_setup.py.

wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/blob/master/setup.py

The bitbucket page documenting the move from bitbucket to github is below:
