Building the QIIME Virtual Box
sudo apt-get install python-setuptools htop vim screen
sudo pip install numpy before the pip install --upgrade command in step 7
don't bother with changing the qiime temp dir
ipython notebook works, so skip that config
install chrome
IMPORTANT put /etc/profile stuff in /etc/bash.bashrc/etc/profile isn't sourced by terminals (since they're not login shells). How should we handle this?
message of the day will get annoying in the terminal (plus, I don't think it displays in non-login shells). What's a better way to make this information accessible? I (Jai) put this content in 0.QIIME_version.txt, modified it slightly from the AMI version so that it makes sense in the context of the Virtual Box
R libraries didn't get installed?
grab latest doc/vb_files/Before_you_start directory from qiime github repo, save on the desktop
create empty ~/Desktop/before_you_start directory
make chrome and firefox homepages point to help.qiime.org
when doing final cleanup (step 17), also remove everything from /tmp and clear browsing data from firefox and chrome:
sudo rm -rf ~/.bash_history ~/.viminfo ~/.lesshst ~/temp/* /tmp/*
if gui update manager is prompting for updates, run them
