[Labs-l] Are you ready for the migration?

[Petr Bena]

ok how do I fix that pip.req missing module? The readme say:

## Installation

``` shell
sudo python setup.py install
```

this will install all the dependencies and you should be good to go.

However, it doesn't seem that default images do have enough of
packages to run this right away, perhaps some more packages needs to
be installed before?
