Mac support #679

Description

Bug Report

As reported in #675 , the Quick start instructions fail on Mac because of the following problems :

While executing make cluster:

  • readlink does not support the -f option on Mac
  • uuidgen returns uppercase strings on Mac

Also, the documentation recommends to tune sysctl value tune vm/max_map_count for Elasticsearch, but it fails on mac.

Possible Solution

  • Find a POSIX alternative for readlink -f and apply it in bin/arnold and bin/init-cluster (hint here?)
  • Fix the uuidgen case issue
  • Update the documentation to mention that the sysctl command needs special care on mac (possible solution here)
