Tools installation should be two steps: build then install

Description

By installing the tools with sudo python setup.py install the bit-compiled python files are all created in the users home directory with root permissions, and and therefore can only be removed by root (or sudo). I recommend we simply change the instructions and use the following command: 

python setup.py build && sudo setup.py install

python setup.py build && sudo python setup.py install
