First, set up your virtual environment and pip install Socrates.
virtualenv env --no-site-packages
source env/bin/activate
pip install -e git://github.com/honza/socrates.git#egg=socrates
The next step is to install your templates. At the moment, you can choose between Django templates and Jinja2 templates. The default theme uses Django.
pip install django
pip install jinja2
If you’re going to use a processor other than Markdown, you have to install that, too.
textile
pip install textile
reStructuredText
pip install docutils pygments
