I ran into some problems using this on Ubuntu 11.04. I could be doing something wrong but I kept getting an error saying that aptitude was not a recognized command. I changed all of the references from aptitude to apt-get and it seems to have solved the problem. I just installed Ubuntu today to start playing with Reddit. I think the problem is that it doesn't come with aptitude installed (and it did in previous versions?).

See this gist for the modified version.

aptitude isn't installed by default in 11.04. I BELIEVE it's something of an upgrade to apt-get, but I can't fully confirm that.

I figured it was something like that. I ran into a few more errors after I got passed that and I realized I was getting in a little over my head with this. I'm going to stick with simple PHP scripts for now.

Aptitude is not installed by default. I just did a fresh install of 11.04. But, you can easily install it by running:
apt-get update
apt-get install aptitude

I'm attempting to install on 11.1 (I removed the bit in the .sh that checks for version 11.04) and the install bails when it gets to the PPA:

Any ideas on what's causing the script to bail?

Yup, none of the packages in the PPA are compiled for Oneiric. There's a reason that version check is there :P

Silly Me.

After reinstalling the correct version of Ubuntu, I'm bailing on the same error as Cheapsteak:

ImportError: No module named lxml.sax
make: *** [r2/public/static/button.js] Error 1

I've manually installed lxml with "sudo apt-get install python-lxml" but the script still dies at this line.

I've tried to follow the steps on Lucid (10.04.3 LTS) but it fails on

You need a newer version of Cython.

Note: we don't support Lucid any more and there're parts of the code that will not work on Python 2.6.
