Install python packages using PIP
---------------------------------

Many of the python libraries can be installed with ``pip install``
[after pip is installed]
(`http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html <http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html>`__)
or via easy\_install (do your self a favor and install pip).

::

    sudo pip install werkzeug MySQL-Python python-memcached Pillow flickrapi python-ldap flup reportlab pika pycrypto pep8-naming flake8-todo flake8-docstrings https://pyodbc.googlecode.com/files/pyodbc-3.0.7.zip

--------------

Using the requirements.txt file
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The `MDID 3 repo <https://github.com/cit-jmu/rooibos>`__ has a file in
the top level called ``requirements.txt``. You can install the python
libraries needed for MDID3 using the command:

::

    pip install -r requirements.txt

--------------

Note: For reasons that are complicated and often specific to a specific
site or OS installation, it is common to have trouble installing one of
more of the packages above. In these cases someone else has already
figured out the problem you're encountering and posted ether an
installer or a fix. See below for a list of backup solutions if any of
the above fail.
