[OSGeoLive] Instructions to Build Steps to start documentation

[Cameron Shorter]

Hi Johanna,

I'm guessing you are following our build step at: 
https://github.com/OSGeo/OSGeoLive-doc

I'm pretty sure the error you are describing is due to the fact that you 
are trying to install packages as a normal user instead of as a 
"super-user" (often called "root") which has privileges to do anything.

We switch ourselves to super-user mode by pre-inserting "sudo" in front 
of the command. I notice from my personal log that I've done that 
before. I can't remember why I added the "-H", but I'm assuming the 
following should work for you:

sudo -H pip install sphinx==1.6.5
sudo -H pip install sphinx-intl
sudo -H pip install sphinxjp.themes.revealjs

Note: You might be asked for username and/or password. On OSGeo live, 
this will be username=user, password=user.

I encourage you also to log into our IRC chat channel. You can use 
"Hexchat" on windows. The server is freenode.net, channel=osgeolive

cvvergara (Vicky) is our docs expert and is very helpful. She is based 
in Mexico, so around in the morning Australia time.

You will find the others in the channel will likely be able and happy to 
help out too.

Good luck, Cameron
