Pinax 0.9a1 on Ubuntu 10.04

[Alexander]

Has anyone tried to install Pinax 0.9a1 on Ubuntu 10.04?
I ran

sudo pip install Pinax

just like on http://pinaxproject.com/download/ page is said.
The installation completed successfully, but when i try

pinax-admin setup_project -b basic mysite

it responds with this message:

You are using an older version of pip. Please upgrade pip to 0.7+
(which ships with virtualenv 1.4.7+)

I downloaded the latest (1.4.9) version of virtualenv from
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/virtualenv and installed it but it did not
help:

$ virtualenv --version
1.4.9
$ pinax-admin setup_project -b basic mysite
You are using an older version of pip. Please upgrade pip to 0.7+
(which ships with virtualenv 1.4.7+)

Any ideas how to fix it?

Did you setup a virtualenv first and install Pinax in it?

You shouldn't have to sudo for pip. I don't know the details, but it sounds like that could be messing with your environment too.

Try...

mkvirtualenv project

pip install Pinax

then your setup_project

well, the most important thing here would be to "activate" the virtual
environment. People tend to forget that a lot.

Oh I just assumed he is using virtualenvwrapper anyway. I don't know why you would use virtualenv alone.

Thanks for your answers.
You are right - i did not setup a virtual environment before
installing Pinax. After installing it in virtualenv everything seems
to work fine.
