command-line running about mongo-connector HOT 2 CLOSED

I fully agree. I had also trouble to get it running. When I first executed "python mongo_connector.py" I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mongo_connector.py", line 22, in
import oplog_manager
File "/home/.../mongo-connector/mongo_connector/oplog_manager.py", line 21, in
import bson
ImportError: No module named bson

Then I thought I had to run first setup.py (or perhaps ez_setup.py?) but by executing "python setup.py" I got the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "setup.py", line 32, in
from ez_setup import setup
ImportError: cannot import name setup

To make a long story short, I eventually found out that I had to run first "sudo python setup.py install" which will install some libs wich were missing before. Once installed, I was able to run the mongo_connector.

To save others users precious time it would be great to point out in the readme file to run "sudo python setup.py install" first. Thanks!

For future reference, the easiest way to install mongo-connector is with pip:

pip install mongo-connector

You can also install the development version of mongo-connector manually like this:

cd your/installation/directory
git clone https://github.com/10gen-labs/mongo-connector.git mongo-connector
cd mongo-connector
python setup.py install

Note: you may have to run setup.py with sudo, depending on where you're installing mongo-connector and what permissions you have. I fully agree that the README could be clearer about the installation process, and this will be fixed soon.
