Build instructions

[Thomas Weise <th...@apache.org>]

Hi,

I was looking for instructions on how to build and install Airflow from
source and did not find anything in the top level README. I think that
would be a good place to mention it, so newcomers know what to do?

Let me know if that's of interest, I can create a JIRA and open a PR for it?

Thanks,
Thomas

Not a specific doc, but probably worth a mention in the README?

BTW my own observation is that unless you have a perfectly python prepared
environment, it never is as simple as pip or setup.py install. Usually
there are packages missing that need to be manually installed.

Thanks,
Thomas

Python setup.py install

Standard python practice. Hardly worth a specific doc?
