Open edX install on clean Ubuntu 12.04 server 64 bit

[S. Enrico P. Indiogine]

I am trying to perform a manual install of Open edX according to the instructions in https://github.com/edx/configuration/blob/master/util/install/sandbox.sh

This is the error that stops the install:

failed: [localhost] => {"changed": true, "cmd": "/edx/app/edxapp/venvs/edxapp/bin/pip install -i https://pypi.python.org/simple --exists-action w --use-mirrors -r /edx/app/edxapp/edx-platform/requirements/edx/base.txt ", "delta": "0:01:19.619480", "end": "2015-07-22 14:03:15.980155", "item": "", "rc": 1, "start": "2015-07-22 14:01:56.360675"}
stdout: You are using pip version 6.0.8, however version 7.1.0 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.



I have previously run the pip install --upgrade pip command.

pip --version
pip 1.5.6 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages (python 2.7)

Thanks,
Enrico

Hi David!

Thanks for the explanation.  By the way, with further googling I found that this problem was addressed by installing libxmlsec1-dev and swig.
