-Apache CouchDB INSTALL.Unix
-==========================
-
-A high-level guide to Unix-like systems, inc. Mac OS X and Ubuntu.
-
-Community installation guides are available on the wiki:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installation
-
-If you are trying to build CouchDB from a git checkout rather than
-a .tar.gz, see the `DEVELOPERS` file.
-
-This document is the canonical source of installation
-information. However, many systems have gotchas that you need to be
-aware of. In addition, dependencies frequently change as distributions
-update their archives. If you're running into trouble, be sure to
-check out the wiki. If you have any tips to share, please also update
-the wiki so that others can benefit from your experience.
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-There is a troubleshooting guide:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Troubleshooting
-
-There is a wiki for general documentation:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/
-
-There are collection of friendly mailing lists:
-
-    http://couchdb.apache.org/community/lists.html
-
-Please work through these in order if you experience any problems.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-You should have the following installed:
-
- * Erlang OTP (>=R14B01, =<R17) (http://erlang.org/)
- * ICU                          (http://icu-project.org/)
- * OpenSSL                      (http://www.openssl.org/)
- * Mozilla SpiderMonkey (1.8.5) (http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/)
- * GNU Make                     (http://www.gnu.org/software/make/)
- * GNU Compiler Collection      (http://gcc.gnu.org/)
- * libcurl                      (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)
- * help2man                     (http://www.gnu.org/s/help2man/)
- * Python (>=2.7) for docs      (http://python.org/)
- * Python Sphinx (>=1.1.3)      (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx)
-
-It is recommended that you install Erlang OTP R13B-4 or above where
-possible.  You will only need libcurl if you plan to run the
-JavaScript test suite. And help2man is only need if you plan on
-installing the CouchDB man pages.  Python and Sphinx are only required
-for building the online documentation.
-
-Debian-based Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can install the dependencies by running:
-
-    sudo apt-get install build-essential erlang-base-hipe \
-        erlang-dev erlang-manpages erlang-eunit erlang-nox \
-        libicu-dev libmozjs185-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev \
-        pkg-config rebar
-
-There are lots of Erlang packages. If there is a problem with your
-install, try a different mix. There is more information on the
-wiki. Additionally, you might want to install some of the optional
-Erlang tools which may also be useful.
-
-Be sure to update the version numbers to match your system's available
-packages.
-
-For up to date instructions, please see:
-
-  http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Debian
-
-  http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Installing_on_Ubuntu
-
-Unfortunately, it seems that installing dependencies on Ubuntu is
-troublesome.
-
-RedHat-based (Fedora, Centos, RHEL) Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can install the dependencies by running:
-
-    sudo yum install autoconf autoconf-archive automake \
-        curl-devel erlang-asn1 erlang-erts erlang-eunit \
-        erlang-os_mon erlang-xmerl erlang-rebar help2man \
-        js-devel libicu-devel libtool perl-Test-Harness
-
-While CouchDB builds against the default js-devel-1.7.0 included in
-some distributions, it's recommended to use a more recent
-js-devel-1.8.5.
-
-Mac OS X
-~~~~~~~~
-
-To build CouchDB from source on Mac OS X, you will need to install
-the Command Line Tools:
-
-    xcode-select --install
-
-You can then install the other dependencies by running:
-
-    brew install autoconf autoconf-archive automake libtool \
-        erlang icu4c spidermonkey curl pkg-config rebar
-
-You will need Homebrew installed to use the `brew` command.
-
-Learn more about Homebrew at:
-
-    http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/
-
-Some versions of Mac OS X ship a problematic OpenSSL library. If
-you're experiencing troubles with CouchDB crashing intermittently with
-a segmentation fault or a bus error, you will need to install your own
-version of OpenSSL. See the troubleshooting guide, mentioned above,
-for more information.
-
-FreeBSD
--------
-
-FreeBSD requires the use of GNU Make. Where `make` is specified in this
-documentation, substitute `gmake`.
-
-You can install this by running:
-
-    pkg install gmake
-
-Installing
-----------
-
-Once you have satisfied the dependencies you should run:
-
-    ./configure
-
-This script will configure CouchDB to be installed into `/usr/local`
-by default.
-
-If you wish to customize the installation, pass `--help` to this
-script.
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
-    You have configured Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To install CouchDB you should run:
-
-    make && sudo make install
-
-You only need to use `sudo` if you're installing into a system directory.
-
-Try `gmake` if `make` is giving you any problems.
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
-    You have installed Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-User Registration
------------------
-
-You should create a special `couchdb` user for CouchDB.
-
-On many Unix-like systems you can run:
-
-    adduser --system \
-            --home /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb \
-            --no-create-home \
-            --shell /bin/bash \
-            --group --gecos \
-            "CouchDB Administrator" couchdb
-
-On Mac OS X you can use the Workgroup Manager to create users:
-
-  http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools1047.html
-
-You must make sure that:
-
-    * The user has a working POSIX shell
-
-    * The user's home directory is `/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb`
-
-You can test this by:
-
-    * Trying to log in as the `couchdb` user
-
-    * Running `pwd` and checking the present working directory
-
-Change the ownership of the CouchDB directories by running:
-
-    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/etc/couchdb
-    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
-    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/log/couchdb
-    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/run/couchdb
-
-Change the permission of the CouchDB directories by running:
-
-    chmod 0770 /usr/local/etc/couchdb
-    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
-    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/log/couchdb
-    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/run/couchdb
-
-Update the permissions for your `default.ini` file:
-
-    chmod 0644 /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini
-
-First Run
----------
-
-You can start the CouchDB server by running:
-
-    sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb
-
-This uses the `sudo` command to run the `couchdb` command as the
-`couchdb` user.
-
-When CouchDB starts it should eventually display the following
-message:
-
-    Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To check that everything has worked, point your web browser to:
-
-    http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html
-
-From here you should run the test suite in Firefox.
-
-Running as a Daemon
--------------------
-
-SysV/BSD-style Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-You can use the `couchdb` init script to control the CouchDB daemon.
-
-On SysV-style systems, the init script will be installed into:
-
-    /usr/local/etc/init.d
-
-On BSD-style systems, the init script will be installed into:
-
-    /usr/local/etc/rc.d
-
-We use the `[init.d|rc.d]` notation to refer to both of these
-directories.
-
-You can control the CouchDB daemon by running:
-
-    /usr/local/etc/[init.d|rc.d]/couchdb [start|stop|restart|status]
-
-If you wish to configure how the init script works, you can edit:
-
-    /usr/local/etc/default/couchdb
-
-Comment out the `COUCHDB_USER` setting if you're running as a
-non-superuser.
-
-To start the daemon on boot, copy the init script to:
-
-    /etc/[init.d|rc.d]
-
-You should then configure your system to run the init script
-automatically.
-
-You may be able to run:
-
-    sudo update-rc.d couchdb defaults
-
-If this fails, consult your system documentation for more information.
-
-A `logrotate` configuration is installed into:
-
-    /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/couchdb
-
-Consult your `logrotate` documentation for more information.
-
-It is critical that the CouchDB logs are rotated so as not to fill
-your disk.
-
-Mac OS X
-~~~~~~~~
-
-You can use the `launchctl` command to control the CouchDB daemon.
-
-You can load the configuration by running:
-
-    sudo launchctl load \
-         /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
-
-You can stop the CouchDB daemon by running:
-
-    sudo launchctl unload \
-         /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
-
-You can start CouchDB by running:
-
-    sudo launchctl start org.apache.couchdb
-
-You can restart CouchDB by running:
-
-    sudo launchctl stop org.apache.couchdb
-
-You can edit the launchd configuration by running:
-
-    open /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
-
-To start the daemon on boot, copy the configuration file to:
-
-    /Library/LaunchDaemons
-
-Consult your system documentation for more information.

+            --group --gecos \
+            "CouchDB Administrator" couchdb
+
+On Mac OS X you can use the Workgroup Manager to create users:
+
+  http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/serveradmintools1047.html
+
+You must make sure that:
+
+    * The user has a working POSIX shell
+
+    * The user's home directory is `/usr/local/var/lib/couchdb`
+
+You can test this by:
+
+    * Trying to log in as the `couchdb` user
+
+    * Running `pwd` and checking the present working directory
+
+Change the ownership of the CouchDB directories by running:
+
+    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/etc/couchdb
+    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
+    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/log/couchdb
+    chown -R couchdb:couchdb /usr/local/var/run/couchdb
+
+Change the permission of the CouchDB directories by running:
+
+    chmod 0770 /usr/local/etc/couchdb
+    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/lib/couchdb
+    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/log/couchdb
+    chmod 0770 /usr/local/var/run/couchdb
+
+Update the permissions for your `default.ini` file:
+
+    chmod 0644 /usr/local/etc/couchdb/default.ini
+
+First Run
+---------
+
+You can start the CouchDB server by running:
+
+    sudo -i -u couchdb couchdb
+
+This uses the `sudo` command to run the `couchdb` command as the
+`couchdb` user.
+
+When CouchDB starts it should eventually display the following
+message:
+
+    Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
+
+Relax.
+
+To check that everything has worked, point your web browser to:
+
+    http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html
+
+From here you should run the test suite in Firefox.
+
+Running as a Daemon
+-------------------
+
+SysV/BSD-style Systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+You can use the `couchdb` init script to control the CouchDB daemon.
+
+On SysV-style systems, the init script will be installed into:
+
+    /usr/local/etc/init.d
+
+On BSD-style systems, the init script will be installed into:
+
+    /usr/local/etc/rc.d
+
+We use the `[init.d|rc.d]` notation to refer to both of these
+directories.
+
+You can control the CouchDB daemon by running:
+
+    /usr/local/etc/[init.d|rc.d]/couchdb [start|stop|restart|status]
+
+If you wish to configure how the init script works, you can edit:
+
+    /usr/local/etc/default/couchdb
+
+Comment out the `COUCHDB_USER` setting if you're running as a
+non-superuser.
+
+To start the daemon on boot, copy the init script to:
+
+    /etc/[init.d|rc.d]
+
+You should then configure your system to run the init script
+automatically.
+
+You may be able to run:
+
+    sudo update-rc.d couchdb defaults
+
+If this fails, consult your system documentation for more information.
+
+A `logrotate` configuration is installed into:
+
+    /usr/local/etc/logrotate.d/couchdb
+
+Consult your `logrotate` documentation for more information.
+
+It is critical that the CouchDB logs are rotated so as not to fill
+your disk.
+
+Mac OS X
+~~~~~~~~
+
+You can use the `launchctl` command to control the CouchDB daemon.
+
+You can load the configuration by running:
+
+    sudo launchctl load \
+         /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
+
+You can stop the CouchDB daemon by running:
+
+    sudo launchctl unload \
+         /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
+
+You can start CouchDB by running:
+
+    sudo launchctl start org.apache.couchdb
+
+You can restart CouchDB by running:
+
+    sudo launchctl stop org.apache.couchdb
+
+You can edit the launchd configuration by running:
+
+    open /usr/local/Library/LaunchDaemons/org.apache.couchdb.plist
+
+To start the daemon on boot, copy the configuration file to:
+
+    /Library/LaunchDaemons
+
+Consult your system documentation for more information.

-Apache CouchDB INSTALL.Windows
-==============================
-
-For a high-level guide to Microsoft Windows.
-
-Troubleshooting
----------------
-
-There is a troubleshooting guide:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Troubleshooting
-
-There is a wiki for general documentation:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/
-
-And some Windows-specific tips:
-
-    http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Quirks_on_Windows
-
-There are collection of friendly mailing lists:
-
-    http://couchdb.apache.org/community/lists.html
-
-Please work through these in order if you experience any problems.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-You will need the following installed:
-
- * Erlang OTP (>=14B01, <R17)    (http://erlang.org/)
- * ICU        (>=4.*)            (http://icu-project.org/)
- * OpenSSL    (>=0.9.8r)         (http://www.openssl.org/)
- * Mozilla SpiderMonkey (=1.8.5) (http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/)
- * libcurl    (>=7.20)           (http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/)
- * Cygwin                        (http://www.cygwin.com/)
- * Microsoft SDK 7.0 or 7.1      
(http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279)
- * Python (>= 2.68) for docs     (http://python.org/)
- * Python Sphinx (>=1.1.3)       (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/Sphinx)
-
-General Notes
--------------
-
- * When installing Cygwin, be sure to select all the `development` tools.
-
- * When installing Erlang, you must build it from source.
-
- * The CouchDB build requires a number of the Erlang build scripts.
-
- * All dependent libraries should be built with the same version of
-   microsoft SDK.
-
- * Do not try to link against libraries built with, or included in,
-   Cygwin or MingW. They are not compatible with the Erlang/OTP or CouchDB
-   build scripts.
-
- * ICU version 4.6 and later will build cleanly using MSBuild.
-
- * Python and Sphinx are optional for building the online documentation.
-   Use cygwin-provided Python and install Sphinx via easy_install or pip.
-   Further information is here http://pypi.python.org/pypi/setuptools#id4
-
-Setting Up Cygwin
------------------
-
-Before starting any Cygwin terminals, run:
-
-    set CYGWIN=nontsec
-
-To set up your environment, run:
-
-    [VS_BIN]/vcvars32.bat
-
-Replace [VS_BIN] with the path to your Visual Studio `bin` directory.
-
-You must check that:
-
-    * The `which link` command points to the Microsoft linker.
-
-    * The `which cl` command points to the Microsoft compiler.
-
-    * The `which mc` command points to the Microsoft message compiler.
-
-    * The `which mt` command points to the Microsoft manifest tool.
-
-    * The `which nmake` command points to the Microsoft make tool.
-
-If you do not do this, the build may fail due to Cygwin ones found in 
`/usr/bin`
-being used instead.
-
-Building Erlang
----------------
-
-You must include Win32 OpenSSL, built statically from source. Use
-exactly the same version as required by the Erlang/OTP build process.
-
-However, you can skip the GUI tools by running:
-
-   echo "skipping gs" > lib/gs/SKIP
-
-   echo "skipping ic" > lib/ic/SKIP
-
-   echo "skipping jinterface" > lib/jinterface/SKIP
-
-Follow the rest of the Erlang instructions as described.
-
-After running:
-
-   ./otp_build release -a
-
-You should run:
-
-   ./release/win32/Install.exe -s
-
-This will set up the release/win32/bin directory correctly. The CouchDB
-installation scripts currently write their data directly into this
-location.
-
-To set up your environment for building CouchDB, run:
-
-    eval `./otp_build env_win32`
-
-To set up the `ERL_TOP` environment variable, run:
-
-    export ERL_TOP=[ERL_TOP]
-
-Replace `[ERL_TOP]` with the Erlang source directory name.
-
-Remember to use `/cygdrive/c/` instead of `c:/` as the directory prefix.
-
-To set up your path, run:
-
-    export PATH=$ERL_TOP/release/win32/erts-5.8.5/bin:$PATH
-
-If everything was successful, you should be ready to build CouchDB.
-
-Relax.
-
-Building CouchDB
-----------------
-
-Note that `win32-curl` is only required if you wish to run the developer
-tests.
-
-The documentation step may be skipped using `--disable-docs` if you wish.
-
-Once you have satisfied the dependencies you should run:
-
-    ./configure \
-        --with-js-include=/cygdrive/c/path_to_spidermonkey_include \
-        --with-js-lib=/cygdrive/c/path_to_spidermonkey_lib \
-        --with-win32-icu-binaries=/cygdrive/c/path_to_icu_binaries_root \
-        --with-erlang=$ERL_TOP/release/win32/usr/include \
-        --with-win32-curl=/cygdrive/c/path/to/curl/root/directory \
-        --with-openssl-bin-dir=/cygdrive/c/openssl/bin \
-        
--with-msvc-redist-dir=/cygdrive/c/dir/with/vcredist_platform_executable \
-        --disable-init \
-        --disable-launchd \
-        --prefix=$ERL_TOP/release/win32
-
-This command could take a while to complete.
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
-    You have configured Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To install CouchDB you should run:
-
-    make install
-
-If everything was successful you should see the following message:
-
-    You have installed Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To build the .exe installer package, you should run:
-
-    make dist
-
-Alternatively, you may run CouchDB directly from the build tree, but
-to avoid any contamination do not run `make dist` after this.
-
-First Run
----------
-
-You can start the CouchDB server by running:
-
-    $ERL_TOP/release/win32/bin/couchdb.bat
-
-When CouchDB starts it should eventually display the following message:
-
-    Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
-
-Relax.
-
-To check that everything has worked, point your web browser to:
-
-    http://127.0.0.1:5984/_utils/index.html
-
-From here you should run the verification tests in Firefox.

-Apache CouchDB DEVELOPERS
-=========================
-
-Before you start here, read `INSTALL.Unix` (or `INSTALL.Windows`) and
-follow the setup instructions including the installation of all the
-listed dependencies for your system.
-
-Only follow these instructions if you are building from a source checkout.
-
-If you're unsure what this means, ignore this document.
-
-Dependencies
-------------
-
-You will need the following installed:
-
- * Rebar (>=2.5.0)        (https://github.com/rebar/rebar)
-
-You may also need:
-
- * Sphinx                 (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/)
- * LaTex                  (http://www.latex-project.org/)
- * GNU Texinfo            (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
- * GNU help2man           (http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/)
- * GnuPG                  (http://www.gnupg.org/)
- * md5sum                 (http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/)
- * sha1sum                (http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/)
-
-The first of these optional dependencies are required for building the
-documentation. The last three are needed to build releases.
-
-You will need these optional dependencies installed if:
-
- * You are working on the documentation, or
- * You are preparing a distribution archive
-
-However, you do not need them if:
-
- * You are building from a distribution archive, or
- * You don't care about building the documentation
-
-If you intend to build Fauxton, you will also need to install its
-dependencies. After running ./configure to download all of the
-dependent repositories, you can read about required dependencies in
-`src/fauxton/readme.md`. Typically, installing npm and node.js are
-sufficient to enable a Fauxton build.
-
-Here is a list of *optional* dependencies for various operating systems.
-Installation will be easiest, when you install them all.
-
-Debian-based (inc. Ubuntu) Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-    sudo apt-get install help2man python-sphinx \
-        texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended \
-        texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texinfo gnupg
-
-Gentoo-based Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-    sudo emerge texinfo gnupg coreutils pkgconfig help2man
-    sudo USE=latex emerge sphinx
-
-RedHat-based (Fedora, Centos, RHEL) Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-    sudo yum install help2man python-sphinx python-docutils \
-        python-pygments texlive-latex texlive-latex-fonts texinfo gnupg
-
-Mac OS X
-~~~~~~~~
-
-Install Homebrew, if you do not have it already:
-
-    https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
-
-Unless you want to install the optional dependencies, skip to the next section.
-
-Install what else we can with Homebrew:
-
-    brew install help2man gnupg md5sha1sum
-
-If you don't already have pip installed, install it:
-
-    sudo easy_install pip
-
-Now, install the required Python packages:
-
-    sudo pip install sphinx
-    sudo pip install docutils
-    sudo pip install pygments
-
-Download MaxTeX from here:
-
-    http://www.tug.org/mactex/
-
-Follow the instructions to get a working LaTeX install on your system.
-
-FreeBSD
--------
-
-
-    pkg install help2man texinfo gnupg py27-sphinx texlive-full tex-formats
-
-Windows
-~~~~~~~
-
-Follow the instructions in INSTALL.Windows and build all components from
-source, using the same Visual C++ compiler and runtime.
-
-Configuring
------------
-
-Configure the source by running:
-
-    ./configure
-
-If you intend to run the test suites:
-
-    ./configure -c
-
-If you want to build it into different destination than `/usr/local`.
-
-    ./configure --prefix=/<your directory path>
-
-Testing
--------
-
-Check the test suite by running:
-
-    make check
-
-Generate a coverage report by running:
-
-    make cover
-
-Please report any problems to the developer's mailing list.
-
-Testing a cluster
------------------
-
-We use Docker (https://docker.io) to safely run a local three node
-cluster all inside a single docker container.
-
-Assuming you have Docker installed and running:
-
-    make docker-image
-
-This will create a docker image (tagged 'couchdb/dev-cluster') capable
-of running a joined three node cluster.
-
-To start it up:
-
-    make docker-start
-
-A three node cluster should now be running (you can now use `docker ps`
-to find the exposed ports of the nodes).
-
-To stop it:
-
-    make docker-stop
-
-Releasing
----------
-
-The release procedure is documented here:
-
-    https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_Procedure
-
-Unix-like Systems
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Prepare the release artefacts by running:
-
-    make distcheck
-
-You can prepare signed release artefacts by running:
-
-    make distsign
-
-The release artefacts can be found in the root source directory.
-
-Microsoft Windows
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Prepare the release artefacts by running:
-
-    make dist
-
-The release artefacts can be found in the `etc/windows` directory.
-

+Apache CouchDB DEVELOPERS
+=========================
+
+Before you start here, read `INSTALL.Unix` (or `INSTALL.Windows`) and
+follow the setup instructions including the installation of all the
+listed dependencies for your system.
+
+Only follow these instructions if you are building from a source checkout.
+
+If you're unsure what this means, ignore this document.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+
+You will need the following installed:
+
+ * Rebar (>=2.5.0)        (https://github.com/rebar/rebar)
+
+You may also need:
+
+ * Sphinx                 (http://sphinx.pocoo.org/)
+ * LaTex                  (http://www.latex-project.org/)
+ * GNU Texinfo            (http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
+ * GNU help2man           (http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/)
+ * GnuPG                  (http://www.gnupg.org/)
+ * md5sum                 (http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/)
+ * sha1sum                (http://www.microbrew.org/tools/md5sha1sum/)
+
+The first of these optional dependencies are required for building the
+documentation. The last three are needed to build releases.
+
+You will need these optional dependencies installed if:
+
+ * You are working on the documentation, or
+ * You are preparing a distribution archive
+
+However, you do not need them if:
+
+ * You are building from a distribution archive, or
+ * You don't care about building the documentation
+
+If you intend to build Fauxton, you will also need to install its
+dependencies. After running ./configure to download all of the
+dependent repositories, you can read about required dependencies in
+`src/fauxton/readme.md`. Typically, installing npm and node.js are
+sufficient to enable a Fauxton build.
+
+Here is a list of *optional* dependencies for various operating systems.
+Installation will be easiest, when you install them all.
+
+Debian-based (inc. Ubuntu) Systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    sudo apt-get install help2man python-sphinx \
+        texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-recommended \
+        texlive-latex-extra texlive-fonts-recommended texinfo gnupg
+
+Gentoo-based Systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    sudo emerge texinfo gnupg coreutils pkgconfig help2man
+    sudo USE=latex emerge sphinx
+
+RedHat-based (Fedora, Centos, RHEL) Systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+    sudo yum install help2man python-sphinx python-docutils \
+        python-pygments texlive-latex texlive-latex-fonts texinfo gnupg
+
+Mac OS X
+~~~~~~~~
+
+Install Homebrew, if you do not have it already:
+
+    https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew
+
+Unless you want to install the optional dependencies, skip to the next section.
+
+Install what else we can with Homebrew:
+
+    brew install help2man gnupg md5sha1sum
+
+If you don't already have pip installed, install it:
+
+    sudo easy_install pip
+
+Now, install the required Python packages:
+
+    sudo pip install sphinx
+    sudo pip install docutils
+    sudo pip install pygments
+
+Download MaxTeX from here:
+
+    http://www.tug.org/mactex/
+
+Follow the instructions to get a working LaTeX install on your system.
+
+FreeBSD
+-------
+
+
+    pkg install help2man texinfo gnupg py27-sphinx texlive-full tex-formats
+
+Windows
+~~~~~~~
+
+Follow the instructions in INSTALL.Windows and build all components from
+source, using the same Visual C++ compiler and runtime.
+
+Configuring
+-----------
+
+Configure the source by running:
+
+    ./configure
+
+If you intend to run the test suites:
+
+    ./configure -c
+
+If you want to build it into different destination than `/usr/local`.
+
+    ./configure --prefix=/<your directory path>
+
+Testing
+-------
+
+Check the test suite by running:
+
+    make check
+
+Generate a coverage report by running:
+
+    make cover
+
+Please report any problems to the developer's mailing list.
+
+Testing a cluster
+-----------------
+
+We use Docker (https://docker.io) to safely run a local three node
+cluster all inside a single docker container.
+
+Assuming you have Docker installed and running:
+
+    make docker-image
+
+This will create a docker image (tagged 'couchdb/dev-cluster') capable
+of running a joined three node cluster.
+
+To start it up:
+
+    make docker-start
+
+A three node cluster should now be running (you can now use `docker ps`
+to find the exposed ports of the nodes).
+
+To stop it:
+
+    make docker-stop
+
+Releasing
+---------
+
+The release procedure is documented here:
+
+    https://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Release_Procedure
+
+Unix-like Systems
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Prepare the release artefacts by running:
+
+    make distcheck
+
+You can prepare signed release artefacts by running:
+
+    make distsign
+
+The release artefacts can be found in the root source directory.
+
+Microsoft Windows
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Prepare the release artefacts by running:
+
+    make dist
+
+The release artefacts can be found in the `etc/windows` directory.
+
+Until the build system has been improved, you must make sure that you run this
+command from a clean source checkout. If you do not, your test database and log
+files will be bundled up in the release artefact.
