I'm trying to run a flask app on EC2, using virtualenv. I've created a virtualenv using virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python venv and activated it using source venv/bin/activate.
Then I cloned my github flask repo, and ran pip install -r requirements.txt. However, I'm getting an error when installing matplotlib.
File "/home/ec2-user/network-visualizer/venv/lib/python2.6/site-
packages/pip/_vendor/cachecontrol/serialize.py", line 81, in dumps
).encode("utf8"),
MemoryError
I've googled around and tried pip --no-cache-dir install matplotlib as suggested here but this time, I'm seeing
================================================================
============
* The following required packages can no
t be built:
* freetype
----------------------------------------
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /
tmp/pip-build-3dMFaT/matplotlib
I then ran sudo yum install freetype and got
Package freetype-2.3.11-15.14.amzn1.x86_64 already installed and lat
est version
Nothing to do
I'm stuck now... What should I need to install additionally to make this work?
