+
+On Ubuntu, you can do this by running:
+{{{
+sudo apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev python-dev libgeos-c1 libfreetype6-dev

 You can find further details on this at -> [http://projects.unbit.it/uwsgi/wiki/VirtualEnv]
+
+== Optional: Use virtualenvwrapper == 
+It's possible to use [http://www.doughellmann.com/projects/virtualenvwrapper/ virtualenvwrapper], to simplify the installation process. The below instructions assume that you have installed and configured virtualenvwrapper.
+
+=== Create and Activate the VirtualEnv ===
+Create the virtualenv by running
+{{{
+mkvirtualenv --no-site-packages sahana-eden
+}}}
+
+This will automatically run
+{{{
+workon sahana-eden
+}}}
+which activates the virtualenv, by setting the necessary environment variables.
+
+=== Download Web2Py and Sahana Eden ===
+This can be installed anywhere, no need for it to be in the !VirtualEnv folder
+
+See wiki:InstallationGuidelinesDeveloper#Web2Py for instructions.
+
+=== Install Python Dependencies with Pip ===
+{{{
+cd web2py/applications/eden
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+}}}
+
+=== Running Sahana Eden ===
+Switch to your virtualenv by running
+{{{
+workon sahana-eden
+}}}
+and start web2py and Sahana Eden as usual, by running
+{{{
+./web2py
+}}}
