-1. Getting Started
-
-Cloudant-core uses a rebar-based build system. Custom build paths and the like
-are available using templates. If you want to customize those templates, run
-the `bootstrap` command to install the defaults into ~/.rebar and go from there.
-This step is optional.
-
-2. Dependencies
-
- * Erlang R13B03 or higher
- * ICU (4.2 is preferable)
- * Spidermonkey (1.9.2 preferable, [https://launchpad.net/~commonjs/+archive/ppa/][6]) and symlink /usr/lib/libmozjs-1.9.2.so to /usr/lib/libmozjs.so to make things easier
- * OpenSSL
- * make
-
-On OS X the Erlang and ICU dependencies are easily satisfied by Homebrew:
-
- brew install erlang icu4c
- brew ln icu4c
-
-Once the dependencies are installed you can use `make` to build the code,
-`make check` to run unit tests, and `make clean` to reset.
-
-3. Release Generation
-
-The `make dist` command will build a standard release in `rel/dbcore`. The
-release includes a start script at `rel/dbcore/bin/dbcore`
-
-4. Caveats
-
-The build system really really wants the couch .ini files to be in
-`/opt/dbcore/etc`, and the data files to be in `/srv`. It wouldn't be too
-difficult to template this. But for now, the recommended installation is to move the rel/dbcore folder to /opt/
