The instructions are at http://evergreen-ils.org/documentation/install/OpenSRF/README_2_4_0_alpha.html but you are right, grabbing the tarball is implied, and the opensrf user doesn't get created until step 6, which poses an issue. I lean towards thinking that should be step 1.
My steps (because I already usually have an opensrf user) are usually: sudo su - opensrf cd /home/opensrf && wget http://evergreen-ils.org/downloads/previews/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha.tar.gz tar xzf /home/opensrf/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha.tar.gz Then you can pick up with running step 2, after returning to the "root" user and performing a cd /home/opensrf/opensrf-2.4.0-alpha Michael Peters Senior Systems Analyst Emerald Data Networks, Inc.
