Hi
I'm really keen to install MediaCore, but I have never played around with Python installations. I can use SSH and understand the basics of that, but I don't know where to start. Using shared hosting with Dreamhost.
Any chance of a step-by-step video or blog post for newbies?
Ideally a web-based install would be nice :)
cheers

I think the best documentation about the whole installation is currently http://getmediacore.com/docs/install/index.html#installing-mediacore-and-its-dependencies
However I found MediaCore quite difficult to install because it requires very specific versions of some libraries (e.g. 0.7.2 *only* works with Python 2.5). I started fixing at the least the Python dependency so that Python 2.6 works for me and 2.4 is not far of.
Yeah I tried to install using those instructions, but I got stuck trying to install Python on a shared Dreamhost account. I'd be happy to pay $20 to get it installed, but haven't heard back from SimpleStation yet.
Did you contact us? Oddly we didn't get your request. Try emailing info@simplestation.com
I'll have to double check the project request forms to make sure they are not getting filtered wrongly.
A piece of good news on the documentation. Right now we're giving the whole thing a major overhaul and we're hoping to have new docs ready by the end of this week. Part of improving the documentation has also been making it easier to install on shared hosts... so stay tuned because we'll be announcing it soon.
