Read the Python Hangout API documentation.

Hangout API is using Google Chrome browse, so make sure you have it installed. To install Chrome on debian based distributions you can use following command:

wget -q -O - https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google.list'
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install google-chrome-stable -y

Make sure that PyVirtualDisplay requirements are installed. In most cases it will be enough to run command:

$ sudo apt-get install python-dev python-imaging xvfb scrot -y
