Distributed JMeter installation problem

[djdubois]

Hello

I am trying to build the distributed JMeter on Ubuntu 14.04 and Python 2.7.

When typing "python setup.py install" the installation fails because it does not have permission to write in "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/".

If I use "sudo python setup.py install" the installation does a lot of work, and then eventually it fails again with:

"error: Setup script exited with error in setup command:
'install_requires' must be a string or list of strings containing
valid project/version requirement specifiers"

I know that this error is triggered when there is an incompatible
python module installed, but I have checked using "pip list" that my
installed versions comply with what is required by the
"install_requires" variable in setup.py: (boto 2.36.0,
python-novaclient 2.21.0, paramiko 1.15.2, and pandas 0.15.2).

I have tried doing the setup again (without sudo) on a fresh system and activating a python 2.7 virtualenv. The installation proceeds and then fails in this way:

It looks like some required package wants pbr>=1.6 while jmeter wants <1.0.

Do you have any hint that can help me to solve the problem?

Thanks,

Can you please try installing using requirements.txt file?

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

It seems like something is not working with setup.py

Please also take a look at updated README.md file.
