Error when annotating sample data

[NBKingsley]

After getting dammit and all of the dependencies installed onto my Ubuntu machine, I tried following the annotation tutorial with the sample data, but the program failed after about four hours with the following error message:

'''

Did you figure this out @NBKingsley ? I'm getting the same error.

[camillescott]

I believe the answer was that she is running version 0.3, and that this is fixed in the 1.0 release candidate. There are instructions here for getting that (I need to update the README)

Excellent, that worked. Thanks Camille!
