The word "embedded" was not well chosen. It shouldn't be required to have a local Erlang runtime nor CouchDB to be installed *before* on client side. However, I just recognized that couchdb is started via commandline "/usr/bin/erl <many options>", right? Thus, what's needed is (i) a Erlang runtime installation as a plug-in and (ii) a couchdb installation as plug-in. Both plug-ins would be platform-specific, right? If so, we need to come up with 2 x 2 x "OS-Variants" plug-ins? If we would like to support Mac 32/64, Win 32/64, Linux 32/64 we need 2 x 2 x 6 = 24 plug-ins? Thanks helping me to grasp what would be needed to run CouchDB on a client.
