+Metron on CentOS 6 Built in Docker
+==================================
+
+This project fully automates the provisioning and deployment of Apache
Metron and all necessary prerequisites on a single, virtualized host running
CentOS 6.
+It utilizes Vagrant for the virtual machine, and Docker for the build and
deployment. Therefore lessens the burden on the user to have the correct
versions of the build and deployment tools in order to try Metron.
+
+Metron is composed of many components and installing all of these on a
single host, especially a virtualized one, will greatly stress the resources of
the host. The host will require at least 8 GB of RAM and a fair amount of
patience. It is highly recommended that you shut down all unnecessary services.
+
+Getting Started
+---------------
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+The computer used to deploy Apache Metron will need to have the following
components installed.
+
+ - [Docker](https://www.docker.com/community-edition)
+ - [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com) 2.0+
+ - [Vagrant Hostmanager
Plugin](https://github.com/devopsgroup-io/vagrant-hostmanager)
+ - [Virtualbox](https://virtualbox.org) 5.0+
+
+Running the following script can help validate whether you have all the
prerequisites installed and running correctly.
+
+ ```
+ metron-deployment/scripts/platform-info.sh
+ ```
+
+#### How do I install these on MacOS?
+
+Any platform that supports these tools is suitable, but the following
instructions cover installation on macOS. The easiest means of installing
these tools on a Mac is to use the excellent [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/)
project.
+
+1. Install Homebrew by following the instructions at
[Homebrew](http://brew.sh/).
+
+1. Run the following command in a terminal to install all of the required
tools.
+
+ ```
+ brew cask install vagrant virtualbox docker
+ vagrant plugin install vagrant-hostmanager
+ open /Applications/Docker.app
+ ```
+
+### Deploy Metron
+
+1. Ensure that the Docker service is running.
+
+1. Deploy Metron
+
+ ```bash
+ cd metron-deployment/development/centos6_docker
+ ./build_and_run.sh -h
+ ```
+ ```bash
+ usage: ./build_and_run.sh
+ --skip-vagrant-up skip vagrant up
+ --force-docker-build force build docker machine
+ --skip-tags='tag,tag2,tag3' the ansible skip tags
+ -h/--help Usage information.
+
+ example: to skip vagrant up and force docker build with two tags
+ build_and_run.sh -skip-vagrant-up --force-docker-build
--skip-tags='solr,sensors'
