2013-07-08 03:41:20 -0500 asked a question error when running askbot-setup

I had originally asked this question: http://askbot.org/en/question/10829/customizable-askbot-installation/

but didn't know whether to post something there since it's been a little while.

After running
python setup.py develop

I run askbot-setup and get
Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/yprizont1/djangoproj/myenv/bin/askbot-setup", line 5, in <module> from pkg_resources import load_entry_point

2013-05-26 13:34:54 -0500 asked a question customizable askbot installation

I am running unbuntu 12.04

I have an inherited a project based on askbot - but don't know how to get it running locally on django to test it. In short - I would like to install askbot in a virtualenv instance. I have read many (web) pages with suggestions and have tried installing several times with a variety of errors. Is there no step-by-step guide for those who are not python/open source gurus?

If there isn't a step by step - at least a general order - something like: create virtualenv instance activate virtualenv instance install django install postgresql (django) startproject clone askbot-devel code cd into askbot directory and python setup.py develop ????
