csantanapr opened a new issue #2710: remove the hard requirement to run prereq playbook
URL: https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/issues/2710
 
 
   I'm referring to the role [roles/prereq](https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/blob/master/ansible/roles/prereq/tasks/deploy.yml)
   
   In situations this is not required.
   
   This role what it does it check is pip is install, if not it will install it.
   Then it will install the using pip the packages docker, requests, httplib2
   
   If the user already doing a single machine setup on mac or ubuntu using the instructions provided where it's already installing docker engine, and other pip libraries.
   
   maybe the role is more applicable in distributed deployments, where the remote machine needs to have some minimum tools installs beyond docker engine. 
   If we update the setup to include the things that prereq do, then we can say it's ok to skip the prereq role, and also update wskdev/redo to not to prereq
