Hi there folks,

I'm sure many of us are excited about the potential of the Memetracker module (I definitely am!).

Memetracker currently has some Python requirements, and many Drupal folks are not accustomed to installing Python/ Linux packages in general.
As a result, many of the issues in the Memetracker issue queue are about getting the Python packages installed correctly.
To help with this, I've written a document that's purely about installing the Python prerequisites:

Also:

  • There's other exciting documentation stuff coming up. I have some docs and resources cooking, and I've had some dialogue offline w/Kyle about stuff he's cooking up, so stay tuned!
  • Python might not always be required for Memetracker
  • Even if Python is always required for Memetracker, future versions of Ubuntu will make this process a bit easier
