1093672 - Make first-time setup really easy with a script that does it all

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1118813

(Webtools Graveyard :: Air Mozilla, defect)

Description

[Peter Bengtsson [:peterbe]]

Almost all the steps in the README [0] are things that a bash script can do. 

The script could live in the `bin/` directory [1] and it could be started with something like:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mozilla/airmozilla/master/bin/install.sh | bash

It should use `mkvirtualenv` if installed. Otherwise regular `virtualenv`.

It might need to ask the user to chose which python executable to use. With something looking like this::

  I found (/usr/bin/python2.7). Is that correct? [Y/n]
(if they answer no)
  Enter path to python executable you want to use:

The script should check that certain executables as available like `virtualenv` and `createdb` and exit with a clear error message if they're not because they would require sudo. 

We should try to really avoid using/needing sudo in this script.
