Thanks Joan. Firstly, doing all below on Couch 1.6.1.on Ubuntu 16.04:
Briefly, I have tried to follow any instructions I could find to get geocouch. I tried to follow the steps on the main site, https://github.com/couchbase/geocouch, but I fear I don't understand everything there. I have used: Jan's instructions in https://gist.github.com/janl/5197524 , and specifically the comments by gr2m. I found that the directories shown in these instructions, specifically: COUCH_EBIN="/usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.2.1/ebin" COUCH_INCLUDE="/usr/local/lib/couchdb/erlang/lib/couch-1.2.1/include" COUCH_SCRIPT="/usr/local/share/couchdb/www/script" (all three if I remember) did not correspond to my Ubuntu 16.04 installation of Couch. Also 'couch_db.hrl' was not found. I suspect these facts are probably to be expected as all systems will not have the same Couch setup.(I used apt-get install couchdb if I remember) I did try and fiddle with the directories but that was not going to work anyway. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I see on this forum there are a number of questions and answers regarding geocouch but most seem a few years old. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Windows: Steps to follow?: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/couchdb-user-archive/geocouch$20windows%7Csort:relevance/couchdb-user-archive/AT66zr6zt1Y/Jn_WojBLvxgJ https://github.com/dch/glazier I could try these on Windows. These instructions look very good However, I have 1.6.1 and 2.0.0 already installed on Windows so likely this will ding one of them. I have backed up my data and INI's so I am very prepared to try these instructions if they are still valid. So assuming I wish to proceed on Windows, should I follow these instructions? Last comment: Is this worth it? Is geocouch the real deal or will there be new options or alternatives in the near future? If no new alternatives coming soon I am keen to set geocouch up.
