1. Manually install the mylar library dependencies, the mylar program dependencies, and git.

2. Use git clone -- https://github.com/jmoldow/MylarDistributedDB.git [/path/to/MylarDistributedDB] to checkout the MylarDistributedDB repository.

3. Use git clone -b <branch-name> -- <repository> [/path/to/mylar] to checkout the desired mylar repository.

4. (Optional) Run ln -s /path/to/mylar/meteor /usr/local/bin/mylar (may require root privileges) to install mylar globally. If you do this, you may run mylar in place of /path/to/mylar/meteor.

5. Run /path/to/mylar/meteor --get-ready to have meteor automatically install its Node dependencies.

6. Run

   cd /path/to/mylar/dev_bundle/lib/node_modules
   ../../bin/npm install mime
   

   to install mime.

In a shell, run

cd /path/to/MylarDistributedDB
./meteor.sh

This starts one IDP server, five MylarDistributedDB servers, the Go servers, and the Go clients.
