Description
Building upon this PR: https://github.com/opscode/opscode-omnibus/pull/104
There are several things that need to be correct/implemented on a server before we can install Chef Server. Currently there is no pre-flight or requirements check. This often results in unclear error messages and undelightful install process. Particularly in secure environments.
Please implement checks for the items in the requirement doc: https://docs.getchef.com/server/install_server_pre.html
Additionally, we should test if the Chef Server is in an offline or proxy mode, and needs additional config to reach the internet.

Research direction
Start by reviewing PR #104 and the linked Chef Server installation requirements document. Identify the required pre-flight checks and the additional offline or proxy configuration checks; the work is done when installation reports clear failures for unmet requirements and handles those network modes.
