Deploying a ManageIQ Server

This section details "quick deployment" steps.

Install Chef Client

   curl -L https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh | sudo bash

Create a Chef repo folder and a cookbooks folder under the /tmp directory
```
   mkdir -p /tmp/chef/cookbooks
   cd /tmp/chef/
```

Create a solo.rb file

   vi /tmp/chef/solo.rb
  
        file_cache_path "/tmp/chef/"
        cookbook_path "/tmp/chef/cookbooks"

Create a manageiq.json file, this will be the attributes file and contains the run_list

   vi /tmp/chef/manageiq.json
 
         {
           "run_list": [
           "recipe[chef-manageiq]"
