Installation guide for omero-figure "Enabling figure export" #462

Hej,

I was fighting for some time with Enabling PDF export in omero-figure due to the installation of reportlab in my OMERO.server (Ubuntu 18.04). I have been following the guides OMERO.server and OMERO.web. Then I was installing omero-figure and when trying to run: $VENV_SERVER/bin/pip install reportlab I got the error: error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc' failed with exit status 1

It took me a bit of time to realize that first I had to install python3-dev via: apt-get install python3-dev This was suggested by @joshmoore in a related topic: Image.sc forum post and an old stackoverflow post

Perhaps it would be good to add this explicitly in the installation information?

All the best, Rafa

Thanks for your feedback This is tricky one since it is a web app that required installation steps in the server We will need to see how to slot that in the server installation guide.

@CamachoDejay you need to cap reportlab i.e. pip install "reportlab<3.6"
