Step-by-step guide for ubuntu

For some reason I ran into issues while installing Barbicun from these instructions(https://github.com/cloudkeep/barbican/wiki/Barbican-Quick-Start-Guide) hence I am adding here what all I did to make it work

1. Install prereqs 

   sudo apt-get install python-dev
   sudo apt-get install libsqlite3-dev

   sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
   sudo apt-get install libxslt1-dev
   sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev  libldap2-dev  libsasl2-dev
   

   sudo apt-get install libffi-dev
   sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

2.  Install pyenv
   curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yyuu/pyenv-installer/master/bin/pyenv-installer | bash
3.  install  pyenv-virtualenv
   

   git clone https://github.com/yyuu/pyenv-virtualenv.git ~/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv

   echo 'eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"' >> ~/.bash_profile

   exec "$SHELL"

4. pyenv install 2.7.5
5. pyenv virtualenv 2.7.5 barbican27
6. pyenv shell barbican27
7. bin/barbican.sh install
   Note:- if you run into any "module not found" kind of error .. means its time to restart . remove virtualenv , install what is missing (in my case it was biz2 so installing libbz2-dev helped) and then redo all the steps from step 2.
8. you can test step 7 once you see " [emperor] vassal barbican-api.ini is ready to accept requests"  by "curl -H 'X-Project-Id:12345' localhost:9311"
   response looks like {"v1": "current", "build": "2015.1.dev103"} on client
   and "[emperor] vassal barbican-api.ini is now loyal" on server side ( somebody knows what's good humour ) out there
