> Dear all,
>
> tomorrow at 15:00 we will have our very first Crowdcrafting Hangout.
> To speed things a little bit up, we would like you to install a few things
> beforehand so we can get started right away.
>
> You need to install Python <http://python.org/download/releases/2.7.3/>
>  and Git <http://git-scm.com/> (both just download from the site and run
> the installer), if you don't have so already. When installing this
> myself, I ran into a couple of errors. Apparently this is because of using
> Mac OSX Mountain Lion. To solve this problem, you can download Xcode from
> the app store and follow these instructions:
> http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/mountain-lion-git-fix/
>
> Then install virtualenv<http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/#installation>.
> I had a few issues with permissions but by entering
>
> sudo pip install virtualenv - in the terminal, I got it to work.
>
> Then installing the pybossa client will be like this, i.e. for Flickr
> Person Finder: (just copy these lines into your terminal, without the
> numbers)
>
> 1.- git clone git://github.com/PyBossa/app-flickrperson.git
> 2.- cd app-flickrperson
> 3.- virtualenv env
> 4.- . env/bin/activate
> 5.- pip install pybossa-client
>
> The last step will install pybossa-client and all its dependencies.
> Windows users will have to download from the Git repository the ZIP files
> provided by Github and unzip them instead of cloning the repository.
>
> If you have not sent me your email address already and want to join
> tomorrow, please do so!
> If you run into troubles with installing, do ping me and I can see if I
> can help.
>
> All the best,
>
> Joris
