Fresh install on Ubuntu 16.04 VPS

[georgeglarson]

Notes from doing an install on a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VPS:

1. pip wasn't installed:

   • apt install python-pip

2. lxml wasn't installed:

   • pip install lxml

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sqlmate", line 367, in <module>
    bypass()
  File "sqlmate", line 266, in bypass
    soup =  BeautifulSoup(data, 'lxml') #Pareses the response with beuatiful soup
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bs4/__init__.py", line 156, in __init__
    % ",".join(features))
bs4.FeatureNotFound: Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: lxml. Do you need to install a parser library?

3. no control matching 'username'
   • haven't worked in Python extensively or recently
   • seems that we passed "if username:" but then failed for missing control
     • perhaps something failed to load? could not reproduce in pdb

       Traceback (most recent call last):

       raise ControlNotFoundError("no control matching "+description)
       mechanize._form.ControlNotFoundError: no control matching name 'username'

1. Really man? Do you expect it to run without any libraries?
2. Sorry I forgot to mention that in requirements.txt
3. Alright I will fix that

LOLs. No, of course I didn't expect it to run without libraries. =D

My experience is that new users will often give up if something doesn't work immediately. Since I was running on a fresh install, I figured that posting the error messages to the Github would cause it to show up in search engines if someone pasted in the error that they received.
