Summary: The NPT setup module does not appear in the dashboard
Environment: Oracle Virtual Machine: Ubuntu 12.04.3, 2 cores, 2Gb RAM.
Priority: Major

Description: During the installation process (running install.php), I receive no error message except when installing the 'NPT Setup' module, that halts the installation with the AJAX HTTP error attached. If I re-start the installation it continues with the following module and the installation is finished, but when you go to the dashboard as an admin the module is not displayed and then the configuration of the site is not possible as described in the documentation.
The module appears in the list of modules as activated, and no error message is shown. Only that the Drupal core and some modules need to be updated.]]>

On Ubuntu the required curl extension is not available by default. During the installation the npt_mendeley module uses curl to speed up the retrieval of citations from Mendeley.
By issuing the following comment on Ubuntu, the installation is successfully finished:
{{$ sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl}}
{{$ sudo service apache2 restart}}

Comment: Once one can successfully pass the installation, in this case by providing the essential cURL extension, the admin account is given an opportunity to setup .
