Issue Summary
I tried to install the 7.x-1.0-beta1 today. The very first thing I noticed, even before installing it, is that there is a complete lack of install documentation in the readme file. I wasn't at all sure what I needed. I know I've run jquery related modules on my site before, so I thought it would be fine. It give me the following fatal error:
Exception: Facebook needs the CURL PHP extension. in include() (line 4 of /var/www/main/sites/all/modules/facebook_stream/facebook-php-sdk/src/facebook.php).
I'm really just looking for some decent installation notes! This is a pretty major problem that could probably be easily fixed with the right knowledge.
In the meantime, could someone give me a tip for fixing this? Obviously the 'curl_init' function is missing, so it's throwing the error, but I'm not exactly sure what to do about it.

Paragon,
Regarding the exception you need to have PHP CURL. To install PHP CURL refer url http://www.php.net/manual/en/curl.installation.php.
Regarding the documentation, Installation steps are mentioned at http://drupal.org/node/483570, which you can find on the Facebook Live Stream Project page at Resources Section. I added the requirements section to that document. Normally php curl will be installed in any hosting service, so did not mention it explicitly before.

I was actually developing offline, using LAMP, which is likely why I ran into the issue. Thanks for the information.
