Installation Problems

Problem: Pip Fails

Don’t worry if pip fails like this:

$ pip install complexity
...
error: could not create '/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/complexity':
Permission denied

We’ve got a couple of solutions for that.

Best Solution: Use Virtualenv

  1. Install virtualenv systemwide with pip:

    $ sudo pip install virtualenv
    
  2. Create a virtualenv for Complexity:

    $ virtualenv complexity-env
    $ source complexity-env/bin/activate
            (or complexity-env/Scripts/activate.bat on Windows)
    (complexity-env) $
    
  3. Install Complexity into the virtualenv:

    (complexity-env) $ pip install complexity
    

Alternate Solution: Install Systemwide

  1. Install Complexity systemwide with pip:

    $ sudo pip install complexity
    
  2. If that doesn’t work, you can use easy_install instead:

    $ sudo easy_install complexity
    

Site Generation Problems

Problem: Site Generation Fails

If you get an error like this:

jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: Unexpected end of template. Jinja
was looking for the following tags: 'endblock'. The innermost block that
needs to be closed is 'block'.

Then check your templates carefully and make sure that you’ve closed all blocks properly with {% endblock %}.
