The purpose of the project is to have a way to install Islandora via Ansible. I have provided a Vagrantfile so you can also install locally via Virtualbox and Vagrant. Currently, everything but the actual islandora (drupal) part of the setup is working (ie. MySQL, Fedora Commons, Freelib-Djatoka, Solr, etc. are all working). I need to create a drush make file to download the dependencies and then this will be ready to go. If someone wants to help on this, help is welcomed!
Ryerson Libraries has a chef installer for Islandora already and it is on Github. With that said, I really like Ansible since it is really easy to understand. There are also very few dependencies (no additional libraries required on provisioned server since provisioning works via ssh).
You need Ansible installed - see http://docs.ansible.com/intro_installation.html.
