Installation instructions do not work in systems with SELinux enforcing active.

[fsmunoz]

When installing locally in RHEL7 following the instructions results in an error message:

Microclimate cannot be started at this time. Check that the Microclimate pods or containers are running, then click Retry.

Looking around the logs points to a problem accessing the volume mount in ~/microclimate-workscape:

INFO Sat Feb 9 20:54:30 UTC 2019 | FileWatcher] file-watcher server launched on port '9091'
File system error: Error: EACCES: permission denied, open '/microclimate-workspace/.logs/FileWatcher.log'

... and since the directory exists and has adequate permissions the problem seems to be with SELinux enforcement, which is what I tried.

Workaround:

Use

# setenforce 0

to disable SELinux enforcing, and after

$ mcdev stop
$ mcdev start- o

it works; I haven't investigated this in a lot of depth so I could be treating a symptom and not a cause.

The documentation should make a mention of this or appropriate SELinux rules be included, or whatever is causing this in systems like mine.
