I'd updated Windows and Mac guides with first place suggesting to download official release binaries: http://kxepal.iriscouch.com/docs/1.3/install/windows.html http://kxepal.iriscouch.com/docs/1.3/install/mac.html Linux distros are coming - I need setup virtual boxes to reproduce all steps before. > MacPorts is a POS. We should completely avoid mentioning it. (Both in the > binary install section, and in the source install section.) Currently, I'd just mix INSTALL.Unix and wiki's http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_OSX There was MacPorts guide and AFAIK there is some person that supports it. But not really sure in result since I have no Mac to test it. Or if someone suggest me how to install XCode on Hackintosh 10.7.3 (no updates available) I would be also glad (: > The CouchDB documentation should be removed from the wiki when we have > added it to the docs.
