Problems installing Kallithea on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

[Angel Ezquerra]

Hi,

I recently installed Kallithea on my laptop to give it a try prior to
installing it in the server where our main repositories are located.
Now that I´ve played a bit with it I´d like to install it on our
server (which runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard).

I've been following the steps described in (as I did when installing
on my laptop):

    https://docs.kallithea-scm.org/en/latest/installation_win.html

I've run into a problem when doing the "pip install kallithea" step:

C:\>cd c:\Kallithea\Env\Scripts

c:\Kallithea\Env\Scripts>activate

(Env) c:\Kallithea\Env\Scripts>pip install kallithea
Collecting kallithea
  Using cached Kallithea-0.3.tar.gz
    Complete output from command python setup.py egg_info:
    warning: no previously-included files matching '*' found under directory 'do
cs\_build\_sources'
    warning: no files found matching '*.html' under directory 'docs\_build'

    This package cannot be safely installed by EasyInstall, and may not

I did not have this problem when installing Kallithea on my windows 7
laptop. There are a few of differences compared to what I did when
installing to my laptop:

- Windows 7 vs Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard

- The server has the 32-bit version of Python 2.7.11 installed
(whereas my laptop has the x64 version).

- I did not use virtualenv when installing on my laptop.

Do you have any idea of what might be the problem? I'd rather use
virtualenv on the server, in order to avoid any possible disruption to
our current Apache-served mercurial hgweb instance.That is also why
I'd rather not install the x64 version of Python either.

Thanks,

Angel
