DISCOS deployment

Section author: Marco Buttu, Giuseppe Carboni

Abstract

This howto describes how to deploy DISCOS. Even though the whole process is automatic and hides the underline technologies, before starting you have to spend 15 minutes to install some dependencies: Python 2.7, Git, Vagrant and VirtualBox. Look at the section Dependencies to see how to install them, then go ahead and read the Quick start section.
