Attention: You probably do not want to be using this repository. I've forked this solely to work around some issues in sprout-homebrew:

• pivotal-sprout/sprout-homebrew#21
• sous-chefs/homebrew#87

At some point during the install, Ruby 2.2.3 will fail to install. This can be worked around by running the installation manually and then re-running soloist.

rbenv install 2.2.3
caffeinate bundle exec soloist

This project uses soloist and librarian-chef to run a subset of the recipes in sprout's cookbooks.

Fork it to customize its attributes in soloistrc and the list of recipes you'd like to use for your team. You may also want to add other cookbooks to its Cheffile, perhaps one of the many community cookbooks. By default it configures an OS X Mavericks workstation for Ruby development.

Finally, if you've never used Chef before - we highly recommend you buy & watch this excellent 17 minute screencast by Ryan Bates.

xcode-select --install

If you receive a message about the update server being unavailable and are on Mavericks, then you already have the command line tools.

git clone https://github.com/kejadlen/sprout-wrap.git
cd sprout-wrap

If you're running under rvm or rbenv, you shouldn't preface the following commands with sudo.

sudo gem install bundler
bundle

If you receive errors like this:

clang: error: unknown argument: '-multiply_definedsuppress'

then try downgrading those errors like this:

sudo ARCHFLAGS=-Wno-error=unused-command-line-argument-hard-error-in-future bundle

[The caffeinate command will keep your computer awake while installing; depending on your network connection, soloist can take from 10 minutes to 2 hours to complete.]

caffeinate bundle exec soloist
