Bespin Installation Experience

Bespin is a cool online editor, I was interested to participate and work  on it. The first thing to do is to install it locally on my machine in order to be able to edit it and test it. The first time I tried to install it was in the university lab, and it was a great failure, the cause of this failure was that the university IT department didn't trust the students enough to let them install something on the the computers of a lab they use in their course. The second try was at home on my laptop. I downloaded the tar.gz source of bespin, extracted it, and installed it, and guess what...mission succeeded. I trilled and almost made a party celebrating the successful installation after the great failure happened in the lab. Then I tried to create the database to get it ready to work, and when comes trial comes failure. It couldn't find something called "path in path", and when I went to the .py file and commented the line it is complaining about, it returned something else it can't find. So I uncommented it and "tried" to install some packages to OpenSuse and then tried to create the database again, but also failed. Then a friend of mine came and "did" install it and created a database successfully although he followed the same steps I followed, but he was working on Ubuntu instead of OpenSuse which I was working on. So I took his installed version of Bespin and tried to run it on my machine, it didn't run. So I tried to create a new database but also failed. So I gave up and decided to install Ubuntu on my desktop computer to know if it's something with my machine or it's a problem or a misfortune with me.
