The following recipe was used to build a Log.io environment on a fresh Ubuntu 11.10 install (ami-a0ba68c9), using node.js v0.6.11:

1. Install node.js dependencies

   sudo apt-get install g++ make git libssl-dev pkg-config

2. Download, compile node.js source

   mkdir ~/downloads cd downloads wget "http://nodejs.org/dist/v0.6.11/node-v0.6.11.tar.gz" tar -xzvf node-v0.6.11.tar.gz cd node-v0.6.11/ ./configure make sudo make install

3. Install NPM

   curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sudo sh

4. Install log.io

   sudo npm config set unsafe-perm true sudo npm install -g --prefix=/usr/local log.io

5. Launch server and/or harvester

   sudo log.io server start sudo log.io harvester start
