Alright cool, but why do we have no code in this repo?

Wiki and project management for the macathena project.

Eventually, however, I believe this is where we'll have our kickstart/one-line install script.

Hi @ericmlujan - just wanted to see how getting pyhesiodfs up and running is going.

I believe last I saw on zephyr...

   lujan / macathena / lujan + 2016-10-13 02:54:21 [lujan.mit.edu / Where'd you find that?]
       ...so the sad thing is here that pyhesiodfs needs root to install its
       plist to /Library/LaunchDaemons and homebrew disallows root for
       installation
   lujan / macathena / lujan + 2016-10-13 03:00:09 [lujan.mit.edu / Not pronounced lou-gin!]
       well i suppose we can have it put that file elsewhere in the Homebrew
       directory and as a caveat, have the user run a symlink command with
       root

Some notes:

• It is my understanding that the intention of homebrew is "package and install, but not configure" - and instead leave the user to know what to do/find out what is needed for configuration. Therefore, noting this in caveats should be just fine.
• In fact... I don't believe having root is necessary at all - ~/Library/LaunchDaemons would be acceptable, and in fact, that's where the auristor plists go.

Hi @ericmlujan - how is this going?

~/Library would be fine for macathena-standard on a laptop with one user, but if we want to be able to deploy -login-graphical on a cluster machine, we'll want to be installing the LaunchDaemon in /Library so it is available system-wide.
