This is a set of Chef recipes (think of them as macros to automatically build a running Virtual Machine) that will work to set the geoq app up on either a local Virtualbox VM or onto an Amazon Web Service VM. This tool requires a working knowledge of chef and server management, but will streamline the installation and management of geoq.

The GeoQ and geoq-chef-installer software was developed at the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) as a joint effort between NGA and The MITRE Corporation. The government has "unlimited rights" and is releasing this software to increase the impact of government investments by providing developers with the opportunity to take things in new directions. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. NGA assumes no responsibility for the use of the software by any parties, and makes no guarantees, expressed or implied, about the software quality, reliability, or any other characteristic. The GeoQ software can be redistributed and/or modified freely provided that any derivative work bears the following notice: "Elements of this work contain GeoQ: The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and The MITRE Corporation jointly produced this work."

###This project uses: Chef under [Apache v2] (https://github.com/opscode/chef/blob/master/LICENSE)

Vagrant under MIT

Postgres under [PostgreSQL license] (http://www.postgresql.org/about/licence/)

1. Download VirtualBox and install it (free at https://www.virtualbox.org/)
2. Download Vagrant and install it (free at http://www.vagrantup.com/downloads)
3. Download Git and install it (free at http://git-scm.com/downloads or it might be preinstalled if on a mac)
4. Download Berkshelf and install it (works best through a gem install:
5. If you want to deploy to Amazon or some other provider, create a file named 'vagrant_dev_settings.yml' in the code directory (i.e. ~/Sites) and add in provider deployment details.
6. After everything is installed, you can type 'vagrant provision' to have it update code from github and install new libraries, or 'vagrant halt' to stop the VM.

sudo gem install berkshelf
sudo vagrant plugin install vagrant-berkshelf
cd ~/Sites (or wherever you keep your code)
git clone https://github.com/ngageoint/geoq-chef-installer.git
cd geoq-chef-repo

vagrant up (to deploy to a local virtualbox vm)

(Or, if deploying to amazon)
vagrant plugin install vagrant-aws
vagrant plugin install unf
vagrant up --provider=aws (if using AWS, and the vagrant_dev_settings.yml were created)
