    Description

      The Python says to start with installing libcouchbase with a link to the libcouchbase installation instructions. On the libcouchbase installation page says to install 2 packages.. libcouchbase2-core libcouchbase2-libevent

      Then back on the Python SDK install page it says...
      Install the Python SDK. The easiest way to do this is via the pip tool:
      shell> pip install couchbase --quiet If all went well, you should not see any errors printed to the screen.

      My default Debian 7 system doesn't ship python pip.
      Please add that this command may be required..
      sudo apt-get install python-pip

      I then tried to install the Python SDK

      sudo pip install couchbase
      src/pycbc.h:25:36: fatal error: libcouchbase/couchbase.h: No such file or directory

      This failed because the header files weren't installed,
      So please add that this command may be required..
      sudo apt-get install libcouchbase-dev

      Then it installs fine..
      Successfully installed couchbase
