 This script will prompt you for the MySQL root password and will download the latest LON-CAPA release.  The script is used to prepare a Linux system to run LON-CAPA, and can also be
   used to check the configuration of a system on which LON-CAPA has already been installed.  Typically, though, you will run this script only once, when you first install LON-CAPA.
   </p>
   <p>
   The script will analyze your system to determine which actions are recommended.  The script will then prompt you to choose the actions you would like taken.
   Once a choice has been entered for all nine possible actions, required changes will be made.
   </p>
   <p>The possible actions are:
   <ul>
   <li>Create the www user/group</li>
   <li>Install the package LON-CAPA uses to authenticate users.</li>
   <li>Set-up the MySQL database</li>
   <li>Set-up MySQL permissions</li>
   <li>Configure Apache web server</li>
   <li>Configure start-up of services</li>
   <li>Check firewall settings</li>
   <li>Stop services not used by LON-CAPA,<br />
       e.g., services for a print server: cups daemon</li>
   <li>Download LON-CAPA source code in readiness for installation</li>
   </ul>
