-Quick Installation
-==================
-
-Make sure you're computer meets the :ref:`hardware-prerequisites`!
-
-.. _ubuntu11.04_quick:
-
-Ubuntu 11.04
-------------
-
-Andy Mastbaum has provided a shell script that downloads and compiles
-all of the Chroma prerequisites. It has been tested to work with
-Ubuntu 11.04. To use this script, first go perform
-:ref:`ubuntu_11.04_step1` and :ref:`ubuntu_11.04_step2` in the
-Step-by-Step Installation guide. Then download
-:download:`chroma-setup.sh` and run the following::
-
- chmod +x chroma-setup.sh
- ./chroma-setup -j4 -n ~/chroma_env
-
-This will download and compile (with 4 CPU cores; increase the ``-j``
-option if you have more cores) all the source code required to create
-a self-contained Chroma environment in ``$HOME/chroma_env``. To setup
-your environment to use Chroma, just run ``source
-$HOME/chroma_env/bin/activate``.
-
-.. _rhel6_quick:
-
-Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
---------------------------
-
-The following procedure has been tested on a basic RHEL6 install.
-
-Disable the nouveau graphics driver
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-Edit /etc/grub.conf and add ``rdblacklist=nouveau`` to the end of the kernel line::
-
- kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.32-279.11.1.el6.x86_64 ... rdblacklist=nouveau
-
-Create the file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-nouveau.conf with the line::
-
- blacklist nouveau
-
-Install the CUDA Driver and Toolkit
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-First, download the NVIDIA driver appropriate to your machine at the `NVIDIA Unix Drivers Download Page <http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html>`_.
-
-Dropt to a full terminal by pressing `CTRL+ALT+F1` and then enter::
-
- su -
- init 3
-
-Login again at the prompt and enter the following commands::
-
- su -
- cd /home/user/Downloads
- chmod +x NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run
- ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-304.64.run
-
-During the installation you can just pick all the default options.
-
-Download the CUDA toolkit from the `CUDA Toolkit Archive <https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-41-archive>`_, and run the following commands to install it::
-
- su -
- cd /home/user/Downloads
- chmod +x cudatoolkit_4.1.28_linux_64_rhel6.x.run
- ./cudatoolkit_4.1.28_linux_64_rhel6.x.run
-
-Download and run `chroma-setup.py <http://chroma.bitbucket.org/_downloads/chroma-setup.py>`_::
-
- python chroma-setup.py /home/user/chroma_env
-
-where ``/home/user/chroma_env`` is where you would like all of the packages installed. This should preferably be an empty directory.
-
-.. note:: You must be able to run the ``sudo`` command. Near the end of the installation as it is trying to install pygame, the install sort of halts. Just press enter and it will continue.
-
-Now, go get some lunch! The installation takes hours.
-
-If the installation went successfully, chroma and many of the other packages were installed into a `virtual environment <http://www.virtualenv.org/en/latest/>`_ created during the setup. To start using chroma just activate the virtual environment by running::
-
- source /home/user/chroma_env/bin/activate
-
-Try the following to see if everything worked::
-
- chroma-cam @chroma.models.lionsolid
