Requirements

The LinkedIn Data Gather (LIDG) script requires a few things to be installed on your system, specifically:

  1. MongoDB
  2. pyMongo
  3. BeautifulSoup4

Standard library features that LIDG uses include:

  1. sys
  2. urllib2
  3. time

Recommendations

I highly recommend installing Anaconda from Continuum Analytics. It contains many python libraries for data mining and analytics. It’s also super easy to install.
