Rootfs tarballs allow us to quickly deploy systems, as opposed to building source code locally through the ELIF.
**Step 1 - Prepare the environment**
Building an Everest rootfs tarball requires a proper environment to be set up.
To take the easy way out, download and run `setup-env.sh`
To do everything manually, do the following:
1 - Create a workspace directory (preferrably /mnt/everest)
2 - Create a build user (preferrably named 'everest')
3 - Create an environment variable for ease of use
`$ export EVEREST=/mnt/everest # replace /mnt/everest with the path to your workspace`
4 - Change permissions of the workspace
`# chmod 777 ${EVEREST}
