Hello Marcus, These are the inferences I have made from the installation of Airavata on my local Mac OS system.
1) The configuration of mcrypt extension over php: The tutorial mentioned doesn’t take into account of several Mac OS versions.Added, one doesn’t need to do it manually while the related work has been done in homebrew. 2)Configuring Apache: If we could tweak (uncomment) all the basic configuration of Apache server. 3)Installing PGA.This can also be automated by Python. In essence, I am thinking of leveraging native Python without dependencies on other tools.The only tool required (in case of Mac OS) is homebrew.Added,If I could complete this script by Friday , it would be helpful for developers to install Airavata at ease(hopefully). Please provide valuable suggestions.
