Issue type: Initial setup issues

Python version: 2.7
NetBox version: master/2.0.3
Debian GNU/Linux 8

The initial setup of netbox on a test Debian Jessie server was a bit bumpy, here are the errors and how I worked around them, probably not in the most optimal way.

Error:

unable to execute 'x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc': No such file or directory

FIx:

apt-get install build-essential

During pip install -r requirements.txt:

Error:

The headers or library files could not be found for jpeg, a required dependency when compiling Pillow from source.

Fix:

apt install libjpeg62-turbo-dev

Error:

ImportError: No module named pyparsing

Fix:

apt-get install python-pyparsing

(as pip can't run without pyparsing)

Error:

ImportError: No module named appdirs

Fix:

sudo apt-get install python-appdirs
as pip can't run without appsdir, then

pip install -U appdirs

As pip requires a most recent version.

During: ./manage.py migrate

Error:

ImportError: xxxxx

Fix:

pip install pytz coreapi openapi_codec simplejson
apt-get install python-pysasn1
(pip install returns No distributions at all found for pysasn1)

Would be fixed with #1209.

Do the proposed changes break the installation of NetBox on Debian 7?

On top of these steps, I needed to pip install itypes coreschema uritemplate in order for ./manage.py migrate to succeed.

@jeremystretch commented on GitHub (Jun 6, 2017):

Since the Debian installation appears to vary quite a bit, I'm going to constrain the installation documentation to only Ubuntu and CentOS. I don't want to start maintaining unique installation instructions for every major distribution.

If anyone is interested in maintaining an independent Debian installation doc, I'd be happy to link to it.

Hi you might also run into that error:

ImportError: No module named django.core.management when using manage.py
FIX : python3 manage.py migrate
