Before installing any python packages from the requirements.txt, run

sudo apt install swig3.0 gcc python3-dev libssl-dev

You also need to install Java, if you don't have it yet

sudo apt install openjdk-9-jre-headless

There are some issues (Stackoverflow, BLLIP-Github) with the installation of the python package blipparser. We haven't been able to figure out how to compile the underlying C-code properly on MacOS Sierra. Currently, we installed a Vagrant VM that contains a headless Ubuntu and configured IntelliJ / PyCharm for remote development. You might need to increase the default RAM size of the VM, otherwise you could get a segmentation fault error, we set it to 2GB. You might need to install pip3 and in case the Ubuntu distribution cannot locate the package, perform the following:

sudo apt install python3-setuptools
sudo easy_install3 pip

Then follow the Ubuntu installation instructions.
