INSTALL.TXT improvements #58

A couple adds to the INSTALL.TXT document would make it better for us beginners. 1) Line7: virtualenv .venv_aprsd will error our as "virtualenv command not found". An added note to " sudo apt-get install virtualenv" would help.

2) I have an old version of Python and Line 14: pip install -e . errored out (lots of red on this one :-) It would be helpful to mention up front that Python needs to xxx or greater. Including how to upgrade closes the loop for us learners.
