Dale Harvey created COUCHDB-2383:
------------------------------------
Summary: Installation instructions are wrong
Key: COUCHDB-2383
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-2383
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: public (Regular issues)
Components: Documentation
Reporter: Dale Harvey
As someone who doesnt build couchdb a lot, when I do it is fustrating
I visited http://couchdb.apache.org/, clicked contribute, there was a huge wall
of text, I think the calls to action should be clearer. I found "Git workflow"
but it links to an empty wiki page, I then decided to go back and through the
documentation, I found http://docs.couchdb.org/en/1.6.1/install/mac.html, the
dependencies are wrong, there is little information on installing from source.
I then took a look at
https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/INSTALL.Unix, it also had the
wrong dependencies and no mention of how to start a dev cluster (./configure &&
make && python2 dev/run)
