Hi there,

I've not been able to get the automated installation of
Booktype to work on Ubuntu-14.04 so I switched to following the manual
instructions at:
http://sourcefabric.booktype.pro/booktype-20-for-authors-and-publishers/_draft/_v/1.0/installation-on-gnulinux/

These fail at the line:
sudo pip install -r /usr/local/src/booktype/requirements/dev.txt

which fails with the console error:

  Downloading Python-OOXML-0.12.tar.gz
  Running setup.py (path:/tmp/pip-build-qKRx1a/python-ooxml/setup.py) egg_info for package python-ooxml

I see similar if I go on to the next line in the manual installation instructions:
sudo pip install -r /usr/local/src/booktype/requirements/prod.txt

Any thoughts on how to move on from here?

Thanks!
