Thanks, Eroma and Suresh for getting the Airavata installation documentation [1] together. I want to put a couple of comments on the record (for future Googling) but I don’t think they yet merit inclusion in the full document or a Jira bug.
I’m installing on Mac with Homebrew for RabbitMQ and MySQL, which works fine. One small gotcha was that mysql _secure_installation set my password strength to the “medium” default [2]. This seems to be a difference between MySQL and MariaDB behavior. Medium strength requires upper and lower case characters, a number, a special character, and at least 8 characters total. So the default passwords for the airavata user that are used in the document won’t work. To set password strength to low, see for example [3]. I’m not recommending this, just saying this allow someone to follow the current instructions.
