-Setup
-=====
-
-To enable the Ohai plugin, you need to first create an ``Ohai`` directory
-in your Bcfg2 repository (e.g. ``/var/lib/bcfg2/Ohai``). You then need
-to add **Ohai** to the plugins line in ``bcfg2.conf``. Once this is done,
-restart the server and start a client run. You will have the JSON output
-from the client in the ``Ohai`` directory you created previously.
