Installation

Do not just try to easy_install or pip install ebpub. It has a lot of specific dependencies which can’t/shouldn’t be captured by setup.py.

Instead, see the full documentation at http://openblockproject.org/docs/install/index.html which includes links to pip requirements files and instructions on preparing your system.

OpenBlock

OpenBlock is a web application that allows users to browse and search their local area for “hyper-local news” - to see what’s going on recently in the immediate geographic area.

For installation instructions and other documentation, see http://openblockproject.org/docs/ (or the .rst files in the docs/ directory).

For help, you can try the ebcode group: http://groups.google.com/group/ebcode or look for us in the #openblock IRC channel on irc.freenode.net.
