The users to be used with the Virtual Machine are:
geo/geo # principal user whith suoders privileges
/home/geo/ # is the location where you can find sources, binaries and training data
/home/geo/my_geonode # is the location of a materialized `geonode-project <https://github.com/geosolutions-it/geonode-project.git>`_ Django template
/home/geo/Envs/geonode/src/geonode # is the location of the GeoNode core sources
postgres/postgres # system user for the management of the DBMS
The Documentation is divided in four main sections:

Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License Creative Commons (CC) is a non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share. The organization has released several copyright-licenses known as Creative Commons licenses free of charge to the public. These licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they waive for the benefit of recipients or other creators. An easy-to-understand one-page explanation of rights, with associated visual symbols, explains the specifics of each Creative Commons license. Creative Commons licenses do not replace copyright, but are based upon it. They replace individual negotiations for specific rights between copyright owne (licensor) and licensee, which are necessary under an “all rights reserved” copyright management, with a “some rights reserved” management employing standardized licenses for re-use cases where no commercial compensation is sought by the copyright owner. The result is an agile, low-overhead and low-cost copyright-management regime, profiting both copyright owners and licensees.
