Installing dependencies

Manual install only

If you got here after trying to install with install-pixelated.sh this means that your are trying to install using the manual method. Automatic method involves using Vagrant as described on README.md. Those are descriptions, links and commands that can help solving and understanding missing dependencies.

Sources packages

Those source-packages are needed for building python dependencies and virtualenv creation.

Ubuntu 14.04 / Debian 8.0

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv python-dev libffi-dev libsqlite3-dev libssl-dev

NodeJS

Node is used to build the front-end (web-ui folder).

There are two good guides on the web: here and here

Remember that on Ubuntu there is another package on the command node and thus you have to manually add nodejs as node to your PATH or just symlink it:

Ubuntu 14.04 / Debian 8.0:

sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node

NPM

Also used on front-end build.

For other OS, see here.

Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo apt-get install npm

Compass

Used to compile resources on web-ui.

Ubuntu 14.04:

sudo apt-get install ruby-full
sudo gem install compass

Debian 8.0:

sudo apt-get install ruby-compass
