Platform Deployment Procedure local setup

Local setup

GitHub Access

You should be capable to clone several GitHub repositories. Please ensure that you have access to github.com

Local configuration

If you have an OSX or Linux computer you are working from locally, there are a couple pieces of software you will need installed:

• Git
• Terraform 0.5.3

Install and configure Git

You likely already have Git installed if you do any development locally. Follow the instructions here to install git: http://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git a short summary is:

• OSX: brew install git
• RHEL/CentOS/Fedora: sudo yum install -y git
• Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install -y git

When the Git client is ready, configure it

$ vi ~/.ssh/config

Add following lines:

    Host github.com
        User                    git

Create ssh keypair (the command will create pair of keys in in ~/.ssh directory)

    $ ssh-keygen -t rsa
    Generating public/private rsa key pair.
    Enter file in which to save the key (/home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa):
    Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
    Enter same passphrase again:
    Your identification has been saved in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.
    Your public key has been saved in /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
    The key fingerprint is:
    cc:dd:ee:ff:00:11:22:33:44:55:66:77:88:99:aa:bb ubuntu@ip-127-0-0-1
    The key's randomart image is:
    +--[ RSA 2048]----+
    | xyxyxyxE        |
    |  = cc .   o     |
    |   + .occ +      |
    |  . +  X o       |
    |   o =6 S        |
    |    o 7o .       |
    |      =          |
    |                 |
    |                 |
    +-----------------+

    $ ls ~/.ssh/id*
    /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa  /home/ubuntu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Login to GitHub account using any browser, then open https://github.com/settings/ssh and Add SSH key using content of ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Install Terraform

Visit the following website to download a version of Terraform for you local computer: https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html

We need to use a specific version of Terraform, the latest supported version of Terraform is v0.5.3. Download Terraform here: https://releases.hashicorp.com/terraform/0.5.3/terraform_0.5.3_linux_amd64.zip

After you download the appropriate zip, copy the files to a folder in your PATH. The example below uses ~/bin.

$ unzip terraform_0.5.3_linux_amd64.zip -d ~/bin

Open a new terminal window and run:

$ terraform -v

You should get the following output:

Terraform v0.5.3

Important

If you have problem with reaching github through ssh protocol, create your local ~/.gitconfig file with content:

[url "https://"]
    insteadOf = git://
[url "https://github.com/"] 
    insteadOf = git@github.com:
[url "https://github.com/"] 
    insteadOf = ssh://git@github.com/
