The Testnet installer code is nearly ready for release. It is a single line bash installer that will run on OS X and most versions of Ubuntu (Tested on 14.04, please let me know if it fails on newer versions)

It will automatically download and install the following:

OS X:

Homebrew - The missing Package Manager for Mac
Git
NodeJS v6.2.1
PostgreSQL 5.3 (Postgres.app will appear in your Applications folder)
Ubuntu:

NodeSource NodeJS v6.x.x Repo
Git
NodeJS v6.2.1
PostgreSQL 5.3
After installing the above dependencies, it will download rise core from source, use npm to install all dependencies for it and the web-ui. After that is done, it will exit into the rise-core directory, where you can manually run rise-core with npm start. This launches app.js with Forever, to keep it running in the background.

More tools to manage your installation will be coming. Instructions on how to configure your instance for Delegation will be posted when we release the install script tomorrow morning.

Rise Testnet Update

Here is the install script - tested on Ubuntu 14.04 and OS X 10.11


Just run that script from a command line, and it'll take care of the installation. At the end, cd into the directory and run

This will launch an instance of "Forever" running the script. Later today I will post more detailed instructions, but I figured you would all like to get playing with the system. I will include the instructions on how to setup a delegate account as well.
