As much as we can

Setting up and running tests on NGLocal

Checkout nglocal/feature/testing and cu_fit/testing


cd [directory/for/nglocal]
git pull
git checkout feature/testing

cd ~/data/code/dslm_base/profiles/cu_fit-current
git pull
git checkout testing

Go to your nglocal directory and run
```
								./start.sh
							
```

Setting up and running tests on NGLocal (cont.)

In your nglocal directory run
```
								./test.sh
							
```

This will do a clean install of cu_fit and run the test suite.

Currently it takes ~21 minutes
