The online demo looks nice but I would like to try it out in a VM.

I followed the steps in the README but `pip install leselys` and `leselys init --config leselys.ini` are throwing errors. I am not used to pip yet but from the message errors I gathered I had to install gcc, python-dev (maybe?) and a "sofart back-end".

What else is needed to make it run on http://localhost:5000 in a fresh new minimal ubuntu 12.10 (for instance) ?

If you don't want to use mongodb backend you can easily use sofart, its my own mongodb portable like sqlite.

Just follow this steps: http://paste.socketubs.net/tinabirera.hs

Come back if you need more help.

Thanks, it's now working. These are the needed packages to make it run on my minimal install:

    sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev libxml2-dev python-libxml2 python-libxslt1 build-essential python-dev

On to testing now :)

Thanks! I'll add it on README page. :)
