  1. Install Sprinkle: sudo gem install sprinkle
  2. Set your server credentials in deploy.rb
  3. Pick packages you want to install in install.rb. Add another packages or modify existing ones.
  4. Run sprinkle -s install.rb inside or sprinkle_recipes directory and follow Sprinkle instructions

Drawbacks
