Needs docs on installing engines #48

Closed tiye closed 11 years ago

It actually took me a long time to setup environment on Ubuntu, and for OS X I failed. As I can recall from my Bash history, I tried to install these packages with apt-get:

and some modules from npm:

before I installed this plugin,

And for OS X, I failed to make cairo available, so did the things for canvas or phantomjs.

I think we need docs here so that people pick up the engines more quickly.
