| 7 | 3 | Jon Goldberg | sudo apt install ansible pass expect |
| 8 | 1 | Jon Goldberg | sudo pip2 install python-linode #Needed for generating Linode VMs on the fly |

| 19 | 1 | Jon Goldberg | * `sudo apt install acl` (This simplifies [becoming an unprivileged user](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/become.html)) |
| 20 | 8 | Jon Goldberg | * After adding your local computer to the [Server List](https://crm.megaphonetech.com/server-list), create a folder for it in `<ansibleroot>/group_vars`. Set any reasonable defaults, in particular `ansible_authorized_keys`. This mitigates the security issue of having passwordless sudo access on each other's localhosts. |
