A setting of 1024 here causes other issues such as VMware not being able to start Virtual Machines. Changing to just "unlimited" as the option resolves this
When I executed `launchctl limit maxfiles 1024 2048` , my entire system would become unusable, as all of the sudden no process could use any file anymore, reporting that the max file limit was reached.
Only a hard reboot could fix the problem, which fortunately revealed that the configuration was not saved.
The change I made *should* remedy the issue, even though I didn't test it.
Therefore I hope you can revise the documentation to be sure nothing bad happens.

Tested on OSX 10.11.2
In the installation guide, the raw module is mentioned as an option for
installing Python or simplejson on managed nodes that don't have them.
This change adds an example for users that may already be familiar with
using ansible but are checking install docs because they don't know the
requirements for managed nodes, or are using a distribution that doesn't
include Python 2 by default.
When I followed these instructions, the generated path was 'rpm-build', not 'rpmbuild'. My rpm-build version is rpm-build-4.11.1-25.el7.x86_64 if that's relevant. Maybe this is 'just me', but wanted to feed back in case it's the same for everyone.
This is different wording for using the PPA to install. I also added the installation of apt-add-repository package which isn't always installed.
(I'm a newbie but while running these I wished whatever style was being used on the docs pages would have let me cut and paste the commands without having to edit out the $ characters manually....)
