Nikola 8.0.0 Linux pip shell script

Michael Ghens

Messed up my virtual environment for Nikola Static blog generator. I decided to create a small script to automate some of the process.

	`#!/bin/sh`
	`python -m venv nikola`
	`cd nikola`
	`. bin/activate`
	`pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel`
	`pip install Nikola==8.0.0`
	`pip install --upgrade "Nikola[extras]"`

Also, the doit process that Nikola uses keep tracks using gdbm. Gdbm does not work well with Microsofts one drive. I changed the dependency file DB backend of gdbm to sqlite3 in the file: nikola/lib/python3.7/site-packages/doit/cmd_base.py
