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 live example of the most up-to-date best practices for writing, maintaining, and testing Chef cookbooks:

Requirements

Quickstart

The Vagrantfile is written to get you an Anaconda environment with minimal effort:

$> vagrant up --provision
...

$> vagrant ssh
$vagrant> export PATH=/opt/anaconda/1.9.2/bin:${PATH}
$vagrant> conda --version
conda 3.4.1

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 individual installs go into #{install_root}/#{version}
    • accept_license: must be explicitly set to the string yes; any other value will reject the license.
    • add_to_shell_path: edit the owner's shell profile to include anaconda in PATH. This is not recommended as then cannot be managed by this cookbook.
    • 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 serverspec integration tests:

$> rspec

Check the style with Foodcritic:

$> foodcritic

TODO

  • autodetect 64-bit versus 32
