mrjob workshop

We will be using pip and virtualenv to install mrjob so we do not bother system dependencies.

Python 2.7 is required so run this to see if you get something similar:

$ python --version
Python 2.7.9

Setup

Let's install and configure virtualenv:

$ sudo pip install virtualenv
$ virtualenv mrjob_env
...
$ source mrjob_env/bin/activate
(mrjob_env) $ pip install -U pip
...
(mrjob_env) $ pip --version
pip 6.0.8 ...

For the rest of the workshop, you will need to make sure you are "in" your virtualenv, so make sure (mrjob_env) is always prefixing your prompt.

Install

(mrjob_env) $ pip install mrjob
...
