1. Create and activate a virtual environment for your telex server

$ virtualenv --no-site-packages telexenv 
$ source telexenv/bin/activate

2. Check out the sources of the telex project

$ mkdir telexenv/src
$ cd telexenv/src
$ git clone https://github.com/fogathmann/telex.git``

3. Install the telex server

$ cd telex
$ pip install --allow-external python-graph-core --allow-unverified python-graph-core --find-links=https://github.com/cenix/everest/archive/master.zip#egg=everest-1.1dev .

(the --allow-external and --allow-unverified options are to allow installing the python-graph-core package dependency which has not been maintained in a while).

4. Start the telex server

You need an .ini file to start the telex server; for a very simple setup you can try the default .ini file that comes with the telex sources:

$ paster serve telex.ini

For more advanced setups, please refer to the everest documentation.
