Virtual Environment

You need to install the Python dependencies in order to use the code. First, make sure you have python-virtualenv installed on your computer. If you have python-pip, you can do

$ pip install virtualenv

though you may need root access for a global install.

Then, create a virtual environment with

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages venv

This will create a place for you to install the Python dependencies. To use it, you must activate it like so:

$ source venv/bin/activate

Now, install the dependencies listed in pip.req:

(venv)$ pip install -r pip.req

The virtual environment needs to be activated for the scraper to work. When you're done, you can deactivate it like so:

(venv)$ deactivate
