1. Install java.
2. Install the Freenet jar files (freenet.jar and freenet-ext.jar).
3. Get seed node references from somewhere and put them in seednodes.ref.
4. Set CLASSPATH to include both of the jar files.
5. Run "java freenet.node.Main --config" and answer the questions.  This
   creates freenet.conf in the current directory.
6. Edit freenet.conf by hand to fill in all the stuff that the --config
   skipped over.
7. Run "nohup java freenet.node.Main &" to start the Freenet node.
8. Wait for it to finish creating the data store, etc.
9. Point your browser at <http://localhost:8888/> (gateway) and/or
   <http://localhost:8889/> (administrative reports).

You can use "java freenet.node.Main --help" to get some other options,
most of which will not be useful for the beginner.  Except possibly
this one:

  -x|--export <file>|-     exports a signed NodeReference

so that you can share your node reference with others, if you wish.
