Installing AppScale from source on GitHub

In a clean Ubuntu Lucid virtual machine, begin by logging in as root and installing git:

apt-get install -y git-core

Then, grab the latest stable AppScale from GitHub and build it:

git clone git://github.com/AppScale/appscale.git
cd appscale/debian
bash appscale_build.sh

Finally, install the AppScale tools in the virtual machine:

git clone git://github.com/AppScale/appscale-tools.git
cd appscale/debian
bash appscale_build.sh

If you want to use this image for a Xen or KVM-style deployment, just reboot your virtual machine and you're good to go! If you want to use this image for Eucalyptus or Amazon EC2, upload/bundle/register your image in the standard fashion and use that machine image when you call appscale-run-instances.

Then reboot your virtual machine and you're good to go!
