How to install CouchDB on Ubuntu/Debian
least amount of time (binary distribution that includes geocouch):
- visit http://www.couchbase.com/downloads/couchbase-single-server/community
- download the correct .deb for your platform (32 or 64 bit)
- make it executable: chmod +X couchbase.deb
- install: dpkg -i couchbase.deb
medium amount of time: from apt-get (has a history of weird bugs and poor package maintenance)
- apt-get install couchdb
most time consuming: from source (if you have a unix beard or whatever)
- git clone git://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb.git
- cd build-couchdb
- rake
- or read the readme here for more options https://github.com/iriscouch/build-couchdb
