Create an installation guide

[jkoshy]

Create user-centric documentation covering the care and feeding of the API Server.

A rough outline of this article would be:

• Introduction
  • A brief overview of the OSM project.
  • A description of what this API service does.
  • Limitations of this API service.
• Pre-requisites for installation.
  • Supported operating systems.
  • Pre-requisite packages.
• The installation process.
  • Describe this for each supported OS.
• Monitoring the operation of the server.
  • Facilities for logging.
  • Monitoring performance metrics.
  • Looking out for errors.
• Troubleshooting help.
• Appendices:
  • How to report bugs.
  • Building the server from source.
  • Contributing source code patches.

The guide would need be written in using open-source documentation tools that are in common use in the open-source eco-system, say one of LaTeX, ConTeXt or DocBook.
