chef-continuum-anaconda cookbook

Chef cookbook for installing Continuum Analytic's Anaconda: "completely free Python distribution for large-scale data processing, predictive analytics, and scientific computing".

This also serves as a example of the most up-to-date best practices for writing, maintaining, and testing Chef cookbooks:

Berkshelf 3 for dependency resolution
Vagrant for development
Chefspec for rapid testing
Test Kitchen for comprehensive testing across multiple platforms
Foodcritic for style checking

Requirements

Usage, recipes, and attributes

This cookbook only has one recipe: chef-continuum-anaconda::default. Include it in your runlist, and it will install the package as well as any necessary dependencies.

The following are user-configurable attributes. Check <attributes/default.rb> for default values.

anaconda
- version: the version to install
- flavor: either 'x86' (32-bit) or 'x86_64' (64-bit)
- install_root: the parent directory of all anaconda installs. note that installs go into #{install_root}/#{version}
- add_to_shell_path: TODO
- owner: the user who owns the install
- group: the group who owns the install

Tests

Run the full test suite:

# this will take a long time
$> script/cibuild
...

# check the final result; bash return codes: 0 is good, anything else is not
$> echo $?

Run just the chefspecs:

$> rspec

Run just the test kitchen full integration tests:

$> rspec

Check the style with Foodcritic:

$> foodcritic

TODO

autodetect 64-bit versus 32
