This guide is for individuals just want to get Hanlon installed and running quickly. We are using Ubuntu LTS 14.04 but should also work with previous releases.
Lets first install git, mongodb, dhcpd, tftpd, ipxe installed:
```bash
root@hanlon:/# apt-get install -y git make mongodb openjdk-7-jre-headless g++ isc-dhcp-server ipxe tftp tftpd curl
```
For Windows testing only
```bash
apt-get install samba apache2 -y
```
Configure tftpd
```bash
mkdir /tftpboot
chmod -R 777 /tftpboot
chown -R nobody /tftpboot
```
Create TFTP server configuration
```bash
cat > /etc/xinetd.d/tftp << EOF
service tftp
{
protocol = udp
port = 69
socket_type = dgram
wait = yes
user = nobody
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = /tftpboot
disable = no
}
EOF
service xinetd reload
```
Copy ipxe files to tftpboot
```bash
cp /usr/lib/ipxe/* /tftpboot
```
To get pxelinux we can download it here:
```bash
wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/syslinux-6.02.tar.gz
tar -zxvf syslinux-6.02.tar.gz --strip-components 3 -C /tftpboot syslinux-6.02/bios/core/pxelinux.0
tar -zxvf syslinux-6.02.tar.gz --strip-components 4 -C /tftpboot syslinux-6.02/bios/com32/menu/menu.c32
mkdir /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg
cat > /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default <<EOF

append initrd=hanlon.ipxe
label boot-else
menu label Bypass hanlon

EOF
```
Configure DHCPd, remember to change based on your specific network...
```bash

I am using RVM to get JRuby and Ruby:
```bash
\curl -sSL https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby=jruby
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
```
Since we are getting this up as quick as possible lets just use trinidad for now:
```bash
gem install bundler trinidad
```
Once that is complete clone the git repository locally
```bash
mkdir /opt/hanlon
cd /opt/hanlon
git clone https://github.com/csc/Hanlon.git .
```
Install the prerequisite gems
```bash
bundle install
```
Run hanlon_init and modify the configuration files
```bash
./hanlon_init
vi /opt/hanlon/web/conf/hanlon_server.conf
vi /opt/hanlon/cli/conf/hanlon_client.conf
```
Execute the run-tri.sh script
```bash
cd /opt/hanlon/script
./run-tri.sh
```
You can use ./cli/hanlon now with JRuby but it is incredibly slow so lets add Ruby.
Open a new terminal or SSH connection and run:
```bash
source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
cd /opt/hanlon
rvm install 1.9.3
rvm use ruby-1.9.3
```
And again run bundler
```bash
bundle install
```
If you have a requirement to install ESXi you will need to build iPXE with different configuration options, see https://github.com/csc/Hanlon/issues/46 for more details.
```bash
git clone git://git.ipxe.org/ipxe.git
```
Create the patch file...
```bash
cat > image_comboot.patch << EOF
diff -rupN org_ipxe/src/config/general.h ipxe/src/config/general.h

```
And finally patch.
```bash
patch -p0 < image_comboot.patch
```
We will need the Hanlon microkernel to get started...
```bash
wget https://github.com/csc/Hanlon-Microkernel/releases/download/v1.0/hnl_mk_prod-image.1.0.iso
```
Add the microkernel and ignore the bson_ext warning, _do_not_install_ bson_ext...
```bash
./cli/hanlon image add -t mk -p hnl_mk_prod-image.1.0.iso
** Notice: The native BSON extension was not loaded. **
For optimal performance, use of the BSON extension is recommended.
To enable the extension make sure ENV['BSON_EXT_DISABLED'] is not set
and run the following command:
gem install bson_ext
If you continue to receive this message after installing, make sure that
the bson_ext gem is in your load path.
Attempting to add, please wait...

```
Create the hanlon ipxe script.
```bash
./cli/hanlon config ipxe > /tftpboot/hanlon.ipxe
```
Lets install CentOS
Download the CentOS ISO...
```bash
wget http://reflector.westga.edu/repos/CentOS/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso
```
Add CentOS image to hanlon...
```bash
./cli/hanlon image add -t os -p CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso -n CentOS65 -v 6.5
Attempting to add, please wait...

Create a model for a CentOS deployment...

I switched to rbenv and it installs bins as opposed to compile locally. All is well.
