Updating all installation guides #1989
Description
Summary
I've recently tested a few options for a standard nipype installation from nipype website and the Beginner Guide and for Ubuntu none of them was working without problems (some library are missing, some tests give error or fail).
IMO, it is also not clear which instruction the new user should follow.
I know that with the new nipype that will change, but just to remember to check all options for a few OS and to unify/simplify various instructions.

have you checked the new install docs ? :)
satra commentedon May 2, 2017
and we should either update or remove the beginner's docs, but i leave this to @miykael . at present we point to the nipype tutorial site only from nipype.

sorry @satra , but I'm slightly lost which one is the install docs, do you mean this?

satra commentedon May 2, 2017
yes. it's been simplified for current master.
djarecka commentedon May 2, 2017
ok. When I wrote about simplifying I was thinking mostly about the beginner guide, not this doc. Doc looks pretty simple, but as I wrote before the conda installation didn't work for my Ubuntu, and today I've also experienced problems with "From source" part. Had to manually install
mock, and some tests are still failing. So just wanted to open this issue as a reminder to check after the release.satra commentedon May 2, 2017
@djarecka - are you sure you have the latest master and having this issue?
satra commentedon May 2, 2017
we essentially use the same mechanism to install on travis.
djarecka commentedon May 2, 2017
I'm not talking about the developer installation. I followed this part: https://github.com/nipy/nipype/blob/master/doc/users/install.rst#from-source
took tar.gz file form here, unpacked and run
pip install .Can repeat once again to be sure.

readthedocs latest only applies to master. i agree that the previous documentations were off.
djarecka commentedon May 2, 2017
@satra I've just noticed that I pasted a wrong link, so edited. The "from source" part hasn't change to much, so it points user to https://github.com/nipy/nipype/releases/tag/0.13.0-rc1
