# Install necessary stuff to get fig running on a vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 image.
# 
# This should really be put in some automated deployment system, but it's a
# good reference point for trying out fig and docker on an AWS or similar cloud.
#
# You can also use this to ensure that your development machine is up and running
# for containerized app development.
#
# Relevant apps installed:
#  - docker.io
#  - fig
#  - git
#  - vim
#
# To run a container:
#  - Pull your repo down with `git`,
#  - `cd` into your repo
#  - Run `fab up` to start the container(s)
# 

add-apt-repository ppa:docker-maint/testing
apt-get update

apt-get install -y build-essential python-dev python-pip git vim docker.io

pip install -U fig==0.4.2

The version of fig and the ppa repo added are here due to the latest stable version of Docker as of August 11, 2014.
