Dear Sergey,

it is popular and widely used, but unfortunately still a bit hackish in terms of configuration files. You don't need to change the DESTDIR as setuptools detect you're in virtualenv and put the files into the right location. The only missing piece here is hardcoded `/etc` configuration which I'm working on now (and neglecting for a while already).

So as Cleber wrote, just install avocado, then `pip install .` and if you need to adjust `vt.conf` please copy `avocado-vt/etc/avocado/conf.d` files it into `/etc/avocado/conf.d/` until we resolve the https://trello.com/c/NxqPTjh2/1118-avocadovt-add-avocado-and-other-requirements

PS: When https://trello.com/c/NxqPTjh2/1118-avocadovt-add-avocado-and-other-requirements is resolved the only step should be `pip install git+http://github.com/avocado-framework/avocado-vt@master` which will take care of all the deps. But there is still the `etc` config to take care of...
