Linux/Mac needs sudo

[maestroi]

Short Description:
added sudo to installation guide
Fixes:

• sudo added for linux installation
• sudo added for Mac OSX installation

Sudo is needed to install some requirements

[widnyana]

@maestroi not needed if you run it inside virtualenv,

instead of messing with your system-wide package I'd prefer using virtualenv.

[maestroi]

@widnyana than maybe its good to add that to the linux instruction aswel ?

[felipemeamaral]

You mistyped here, it's sudo not sudp

[felipemeamaral]

Agreed that using virtualenv is a safe choice, it lowers the risk of screw up your OS.
If someone would want to use multiple instances of bot by a script just make use of . notation from virtualenv.

Example:

. ./bin/activate

Linux/mac do NOT need sudo for running it- and it's a very bad idea to tell people they need it.

[evrardjp]

👎 virtualenv is good enough.
The only change we could do is replace "(Optional)" by something like "(Recommended - optional)" in the docs

[maestroi]

Changed the instructions to use virtualenv 👍

[douglascamata]

@maestroi please explain in the readme why virtualenv is recommended and that we do not officially support running the bot without it (so user needs to figure out whatever happens if they don't use it).

There is no need to use virtualenv or sudo on Linux. You should pass --user if you want to install dependencies for your user, like this:
pip install -r requirements.txt --user

That also makes virtualenv useless.

[douglascamata]

@AnAkkk virtualenv is not only about installing packages for the local user. It's about having many clean Python environments and being able to switch between them, so you don't get version conflicts. Virtualenv is so useful that in Python 3.5 they embedded the idea into a venv module of the standard library (https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html).

Please, do some research about a tool before saying it has become useless just because another tool implement something that is very far from the objective of the "useless" tool.

[DavidK1m]

Wouldn't "Recommended" sound better than "Recommend"?

[maestroi]

@douglascamata its done i guess

[douglascamata]

you have my +1

[maestroi]

@douglascamata can you change the label ?
