Report from a first-time user about bokeh HOT 6 CLOSED

I can echo many of these issues, though I was able to get the web server going.

I cloned the master version of Bokeh and ran python setup.py develop using the most recent Anaconda CE install. I began following the instructions in the README, and have not been able to get any plots to show up.

1. I had to manually download bokeh/server/static/js/application.js from the link listed in the setup.py file. Is that supposed to be downloaded automatically?
2. I also get the AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'typename' error when running the tests & examples.
3. other scripts run without complaining, but the only thing that appears in the web browser or the notebook is the word "Plots". I'm running Chrome v. 25, so I don't think it's an issue with HTML5 compatibility.

Any help would be appreciated

Hey guys,

We're working on improving the docs & build process for both BokehJS and Bokeh now that the "March madness" of three concurrent conferences is over.

I'm assigning this ticket to Hugo, to address the specific questions regarding installation.

so first of all - thanks for this! I'm working on taking care of all of these now

So - I think these issues are now all taken care of..there may be still be some undocumented dependencies, but we have another issue on that, and it should be taken care of shortly. Let me know what you think. I switched the js downloading from using requests github to s3, that should resolve some requests/ssl issues people were seeing on OS X.

I went through the installation and it worked really well but I would put a link to the continuumweb repo because at first I got an could not import continuumweb and had to search google.

Most of the examples work well but running glyph2.py and prim.py give me::

Docs have been vastly expanded and several iterations of new users experiences have been incorporated in the dev instructions for the latest release.
