@donsizemore and I just talked about his pull request (#4385) at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2017-12-20#i_61662 and in summary I think he's done (thanks!) but I'd like to take a swing at tweaking the guides to emphasize RHEL7/CentOS7 (el7 for short) over RHEL6/CentOS6 (el6). I also may take a quick look at upgrading the Minishift images from el6 to el7.

I also may take a quick look at upgrading the Minishift images from el6 to el7.

@pameyer pointed out to me that these images are already using el7. Great!

That means at this point this issue should be a review of the Installation Guide.

I made my main update to the guides in 98ad217 and am moving this issue to code review so @landreev @dlmurphy and anyone else who may be interested can take a look.

@donsizemore is going to take a look into getting vagrant destroy working again (as discussed at http://irclog.iq.harvard.edu/dataverse/2017-12-21#i_61766 ) but I'm ok with the pull request being merged as-is.

@donsizemore we discussed this issue in standup this morning and @landreev is happy with the changes that have been made to the docs (especially with regard to the version of R for TwoRavens) so we moved it to QA. I'm not too worried about the vagrant destroy thing since I documented a workaround in the Vagrantfile. If you're really itching to work on pull request #4385 some more please get in touch before pushing any commits. Thanks!
