Comment(by hellais):

 I merged this to master. Though it's actually ideal to install tornado not
 from root, but with a virtualenv. You can see how this is done, by looking
 at the ooniprobe install guide: https://github.com/hellais/ooni-
 probe#configurating-a-virtual-environment

 You don't need to actually need to use virtualenvwrapper. Something like
 this should be sufficient:

 It is not recommended to install python packages as root, but to use a
 virtualenvironment. You may do so on debian with:

 ::

   apt-get install python-pip

 or on Mac OSX with homebrew

 ::

   brew install python

 ::

   pip install virtualenv
   virtualenv ENV
   source ENV/bin/activate
   pip install tornado

 Every time you wish to run the tool you must first run:

 ::

   source ENV/bin/activate
