Hi cristina, I’d suggest the following. I’ve created and slightly changed version of Arches that installs on my Ubuntu 12.04. Please follow these instructions and let me know what happens:
Anything that starts with a dollar sign should be entered through the command line. Please don’t use sudo here. It’s necessary for the postgres installation, but a bad idea for installing the Arches software itself. Go to you home dir $ cd /home/cris Remove your current version (might need to use sudo here if your previous version was downloaded with sudo) $ rm –rf ArchesWeb Download a modified version $ wget https://bitbucket.org/koenedaele/arches/get/default.tar.gz Untar this $ tar –xzf default.tar.gz Rename folder $ mv koenedaele-arches-ca52ad7c6f55 ArchesWeb Install Arches $ cd ArchesWeb/Install $ ./install.sh This should work. Alexei, the errors that Cristina encounters have to do with problems with distribute and setuptools. The changes I made (see https://bitbucket.org/koenedaele/arches/commits/ca52ad7c6f55204f43916f0b25acb462b2d545ca) fix these by first forcing an upgrade of setuptools (so pip can do its job later on) and removing the hardcode dependency on distribute 6.something. There might be other fixes possible (maybe downgrading pip away from pip 1.5) and I have no idea if this works on a windows or mac. Also, is there any reason for downloading and untarring Arches as superuser? I’d suggest changing that in the installation guide.

Hi Cristina, Many times the error messages that can get during issues like this seem intimidating, but in reality usually give you clues as to what happened. In this case, if you look at the error message you'll notice that it tells you exactly what to do. pip can't proceed with requirement 'distribute==0.6.27 (from -r /home/cris/ArchesWeb/Install/requirements.txt (line 5))' due to a pre-existing build directory. location: /home/cris/ArchesWeb/virtualenv/ENV/tmp/distribute This is likely due to a previous installation that failed. pip is being responsible and not assuming it can delete this. Please delete it and try again. It's saying that you had an installation that previously failed. During that failed installation, the build process created a "tmp" folder in /home/cris/ArchesWeb/virtualenv/ENV/ Now that you're trying to redo the build, it's saying that you need to delete the "tmp" folder. It's not going to delete it for you. I would delete that folder and then begin the install process all over again. That should work.

Alexei, there might still be an issue with the requirements.txt file which pins to distribute version 0.6.27.

In which case it might be that your installation of django is failing. Is there a folder '/home/cris/ArchesWeb/virtualenv/ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django'? You can check this with the ls command, ie. 'ls /home/cris/ArchesWeb/virtualenv/ENV/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django' should not say that it does not exist. Could you check this? You bitbucket ticket seems to indicate some possible problems with setuptools.
