Installation - Data Load GUI Failure

[Karthik]

When I run "sudo python install.py", the program automatically goes to console based installation and not with GUI installation for loading data.

Moreover, the program stops now since I do not have sunpy installed.

Below is the trace of the program.

  File "install.py", line 29, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
  File "install.py", line 25, in main
    from helioviewer.installer.console import HelioviewerConsoleInstaller
  File "/var/www/install/helioviewer/installer/console.py", line 6, in <module>
    import sunpy
ImportError: No module named sunpy

After installing sunpy and dependencies, the GUI came up running. We can close this bug report.

Thanks.

Hmm. It's probably still worth adding a check and displaying a warning message if SunPy needs to be installed instead of simply crashing like this.
