Linux newb needs help desperately--Broken install

[tals...@gmail.com]

I'm just going to list everything that happened in order.
I am using Linux--Ubuntu 12.04

1. On this page: http://mnemosyne-proj.org/download-mnemosyne.php
It told me to download this file:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mnemosyne-proj/files/mnemosyne/mnemosyne-2.3.5/Mnemosyne-2.3.5.tar.gz/download
So I did.

2. I opened up my file viewer, and used right-click to extract the archive to a folder, then navigated into that folder.

3. I opened up the README for further instructions. It told me to install some dependencies, and contained this text:

Under Ubuntu, these dependencies can be resolved by installing the
following packages:

python-cherrypy3 python-virtualenv python-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools
qt4-designer python-qt4-sql libqt4-sql-sqlite python-matplotlib
python-qt4-phonon python-sphinx python-webob python-setuptools

4. So I fired up a terminal and executed the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-cherrypy3 python-virtualenv python-qt4-dev pyqt4-dev-tools qt4-designer python-qt4-sql libqt4-sql-sqlite python-matplotlib python-qt4-phonon python-sphinx python-webob python-setuptools

5. Then, as per what the README said to do, I used the terminal to navigate into the folder containing the readme, and executed the following command:

sudo python setup.py install

6. I made a launcher for it and put that in /usr/share/applications telling it to execute the command 'mnemosyne'. I clicked on that. This is what happened:

An unexpected error has occurred.
Please forward the following info to the developers:

from webob.static import FileApp
ImportError: No module named static

7. Thinking maybe the fault lay in my launcher, I did as the README suggested, and tried opening it from the terminal with the command 'mnemosyne'.

8. The same thing happened.

9. Now I am here, hoping one of you will be able to help me. Please, I have no idea what to do. Thank you so much!

Hi,

See here:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/mnemosyne-proj-users/webob/mnemosyne-proj-users/4ZJLmLg-KM0/hvwA1PKShXMJ

Your webob installation is probably out of date.

Cheers,

Peter

Mnemosyne is already present in Ubuntu's repos (an `apt-get install
mnemosyne` away), if you can use that, as all the packaging work
is already done for you.
