Alexander Shorin commented on COUCHDB-2383:
-------------------------------------------
You'd pointed on install instructions for 1.6.1 release which is obliviously
different from those what on master since there is 2.0 already.
> 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)
