Github related issues with installing GenieACS

Wed Mar 8 14:58:58 EST 2017

Also, by the way, we used rbenv to install Ruby rather than EPEL, only
because it was an older version of Ruby on EPEL. I was worried about the
potential for GenieACS-GUI code to use features of the newer Ruby, since
more people seem to be using it on Ubuntu vs CentOS, it may not be
compatible with the EPEL version. Unfortunately there seems to be no
official Ruby YUM repo like there is for MongoDB and node.js.

We also needed to use a special command to install mongodb version 3.4.0
from the official mongodb yum repo instead of 3.4.2 because there was a bug
in 3.4.1 and possibly also 3.4.2 that prevented files from being uploaded
in the files tab.
