Description: Couchbase Server
Couchbase is the company behind the Couchbase open source project, a

scalability, consistent high performance, 24x365 availability, and a
flexible data model. Read more about Couchbase Server here -

One issue though - out of the dependencies listed above everything else was installed by default except python-httplib2 - that error message was helpful and i installed it - but if we don't add it to the list of packages to be skipped from "which" command check, the script still fails as python-httplib2 install cannot be validated with "which" command - I think this is ok though, as we are going to instruct the user to install all dependencies first in the documentation

I should think of a better way to do these checks. The new versions of Couchbase Server generally has everything it needs shipped with it.
