To use  Virtual Entity you need to have the following:

-terminal
-ssh
-python
-python-mysqldb

Dependencies:
For *buntu or Debian users:
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

#if you want use a local database (in this case you have to modify the code: sostitute db.virtualentity.org with localhost 127.0.0.1)
sudo apt-get install mysql-server 
sudo apt-get install apache2 
sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin 
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

Virtual Entity:
- wget http://virtualentity.org/code/ve-alpha_minus_minus-pre.tar.gz #download
- tar xfvz ve-alpha_minus_minus-pre.tar.gz #to unpack
- cd ve-alpha_minus_minus-pre #go into the ve directory
- chmod #change permissions
chmod 777 ve.py
chmod 777 ve-soul.py
chmod 777 ve-aura.py
./ve.py
- make a simlink so you can excute using the commands ve, ve-soul or ve-aura
sudo ln -s /my_path_to/ve/ve.py /usr/local/bin/ve
sudo ln -s /my_path_to/ve/ve-soul.py /usr/local/bin/ve-soul
sudo ln -s /my_path_to/ve/ve-aura.py /usr/local/bin/ve-aura

#if you use a local database
sudo apt-get install mysql-server apache2 phpmyadmin python-mysqldb

Mac Users:
It is always a good idea to have mac-port and fink installed. 
The Terminal is in /Applications/Utilities. 
Make sure ssh works and install python and python-mysqldb.

Winblows:
Sorry, there is no possibility, at this stage, to work on windows.
Please try a live CD.
