updated manual & ease installation
Benoit Chesneau
Since some people still have some problem installing couchapp I edited
manual and README to make it easier. Latest version of manual is here
:
http://wiki.github.com/couchapp/couchapp/manual-2
It would be good to have a complete documentation of commands and some
improved tutorial too. If anyone could work on this, it would help a
lot :)
Also some discussion started on irc about making installation of
couchapp as easy as installing a binary. First, It would be
interesting to report here any problem you have now when you install
couchapp. Please indicate the python version you have (python
--version), the OS you use and such. These details would help us to
fix and improve installation on any plateform. Also if you have idees
don't hesitate. It would be greatly appreciated.

I would love to do more but actually I don't have the time ... a tutorial how to build a
couchapp would be super. In my opinion kind of a developer tutorial would help a lot
because installing a couchapp is as simple as written in the manual. Maybe then some
occuring problems are understood better and easier to solve.

My feedback again - no problems with installing on Debian based machines ...

I guess it is related to the easy_install bug on OS X? setup.py for
CouchApp complains about missing simplejson. I tried to install
simplejson using "easy_install simplejson" and get the error message
"No eggs found in /tmp/easy_install-BM56yQ/simplejson-2.0.9/egg-dist-
tmp--O5ZMS (setup script problem?)"
Any other way to install simplejson? I don't know anything abut python
and it's environment. port search shows py25-pip as an easy_install
replacement, but I don't know how to use it.

Did you follow doc here :
http://wiki.github.com/couchapp/couchapp/manual-2 ?
these lines :
$ curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
$ sudo python ez_setup.py -U setuptools
should solve your problem. Let me know if it's not.

that I would still have to execute those lines.
Now I did and it seems to have installed properly, however, sudo
easy_install -U couchapp ends with the error message
Chmoding failed. Try to 'chmod -R +x /pathto/couchapp/_external'
I don't think the _external dir still exists in the couchapp project?

Error is just warning anyway, you could use couchapp after
installation. I will check this error later today. Thanks for the
feedback anyway.

This problem has been solved in latest git. I will post an update on
pypi when unitests will be added.
