$ pip install -r requirements.txt

i got this message:

Command python setup.py egg_info failed with error code 1 in /Users/Meghan/social-feed-manager/ENV/build/psycopg2 Storing debug log for failure in /Users/Meghan/.pip/pip.log

Did you re-activate the virtualenv prior to this? When you run pip you will need to be sure you've activated the virtualenv first - see the earlier step for how to do that. This happens when you log out and then log back in later, you always have to re-activate the virtualenv before working with the app.

The virtualenv ensures you install everything in the local sandbox, otherwise (without it being activated) you will be attempting to install dependency libraries system-wide, which would fail due to permission problems.

If you did have the virtualenv active, and still got this error, it's hard to guess what it might be - please check in the log file, and if you have questions, please post an excerpt from the log here.
