[kinda offtopic] problem installing virtualenvwrapper #21

Closed guaka closed 9 years ago

guaka commented 9 years ago

Want to check out this project and possibly improve things but I'm stuck with pip install virtualenvwrapper:

The package setup script has attempted to modify files on your system
that are not within the EasyInstall build area, and has been aborted.

This is with virtualenvwrapper-4.3.1.tar.gz. I haven't found an appropriate place to report this to the project (or found another solution) and I want to store this piece of info somewhere for now (before I go to sleep).

What distro is that ?

Could you please try with: easy install virtualenvwrapper ?

guaka commented 9 years ago

I'm on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.

sudo easy_install virtualenvwrapper gives me

hum… me too. Are you using the stock version of Python? is this /usr/bin/easy_install ?

guaka commented 9 years ago

No it was using /usr/local/bin/easy_install but sudo /usr/bin/easy_install virtualenvwrapper is giving me the same. It's Python 2.7.5 btw.

Is it possible to run gutenberg without virtualenvwrapper?

rgaudin commented 9 years ago

Absolutely. Take a look at requirements.pip for dependencies. All of them but ipython and ipdb are mandatory though.

@guaka Yes you can just install the dependencies globally with sudo pip install -r requirements.pip, although not always recommended, it would certainly work.
