Installation instructions

[adelevie]

Using this issue to record notes/speed bumps in installing and running on OSX. This could become a pull request to the README/docs.

• Requires install of virtualenv: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv
• Depends on wget, which does not come standard on a MAC: http://osxdaily.com/2012/05/22/install-wget-mac-os-x/

Though this might be too much of a yak shave, I could not successfully install wget. Any pointers on how I could eliminate the dependency? Use cURL instead?

brew install wget?

Having some brew issues, but thanks for pointing me in that direction.

Anyone have any interest in making this work with Vagrant and/or Docker? cc @konklone

I'd definitely merge a PR that moved us from wget to curl. I wasn't aware of the lack of wget on OS X.

I'd also merge a Dockerfile. =) I'm not experienced enough with Docker to bust one out...but I'm getting there. Is there anything needed beyond the ubuntu base, cloning the repo, and...?

[adelevie]

Not sure, about the Dockerfile, but let's learn together! Gonna be a little busy for the time-being, but this would be a fun project to spend some time tinkering with.

I created a separate issue for Dockerizing and Vagrantizing #5
