Current tests all use the developer installation of boa, so it's easy to have user install instructions that are out-of-date and might not work properly. It would be good to add a "deployment test" that would follow the installation instructions for general users (not developers) and make sure the environment installs properly and the basic test run works.
Ideally this will be written in a way where the install steps won't need to be in multiple places, maybe like having one shell script with the user install steps, which then can be run by the tests or included in the docs pages.
