Install riak os x

I am trying to install 4 node riak setup running on my os x lion machine.

I installed riak with

$ brew install riak

I use available online documentation - http://wiki.basho.com/Building-a-Development-Environment.html

I am stuck at this step - "Use rebar to run four nodes."

After installing riak, is it also necessary to install the fittings? After installing riak, I directly tried

 $ make devrel

and he gave the following error:

 make: *** No rule to make target `devrel'. Stop.

Using brew to install Riak will not allow you to run 4 nodes. If you are going to create a development setup, you must build from the source code.

I wrote a tutorial (as part of a blog series ) that shows how you can get dev after installing Erlang. I have not updated it to reflect the changes in version 1.1.4, but for the most part this should help you get started.

Good luck.

We hope to help others, as I do today, I am publishing this. Make sure Erlang is installed correctly by running

 $ erl #if ok, quit with 'q()' 1> q()

I thought it was installed, but it was not, and I received this completely uninformative error message. He should have said "dude, you need to install erlang first."
