Save the scene into tha same directory containig also this README file).
Copy and paste the INIT.py script into a new text buffer of your Blender scene.
Run it to initialize the whole system.

Some of the add-ons can be also installed using the standard Blender add-ons installation mechanism.
Use the menu -> File -> User Preferences -> Addons (tab) -> Install from File...


2) (optional)
- Downloads/websocket.py
It is needed when the Leap Motion receiver is used to directly connect to the websocket, instead of using the LeapForwarder.
This is a flag in the source code of FaceShiftControl.py and LeapReceiver.py.

If needed, must be copied manually into the Blender-embedded python installation:
Select the Blender app and right click "Show Package Contents" 
-> Contents/MacOS/2.xx/python/lib/python3.3/
