This installs synapse, along with the libraries it uses, into
``$HOME/.local/lib/`` on Linux or ``$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/`` on OSX.
Your python may not give priority to locally installed libraries over system
libraries, in which case you must add your local packages to your python path::
$ # on Linux:
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
$ # on OSX:
$ export PYTHONPATH=$HOME/Library/Python/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
For reliable VoIP calls to be routed via this homeserver, you MUST configure
a TURN server. See docs/turn-howto.rst for details.
