Developer guide

[JiaweiZhuang]

Need a developer guide so more people can help maintain this system. It can also be a reference for building other atmospheric models, or basically any models that use Fortran/C and NetCDF.

Will need to cover:

• Install compilers and NetCDF libraries on a brand new system
• Configure GEOS-Chem from scratch.
• Make and distribute AMIs on your own. Basically, build something similar to the AMI used in the beginner tutorial.
• Perhaps also distribute models in Docker containers.

A minimal developer guide is available: http://cloud-gc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/chapter04_developer-guide/index.html

Need more details on MPI libraries but this is not a priority now.

@WilliamDowns is going to be working on installing libraries on the cloud, as part of the NASA/AIST project.
