Recipe: How-to install CouchDB 0.11.0 from source on OS X

Writing

Prerequisite: MacPorts installed and SVN client at hand – I prefer a UI and therefore use Versions.

sudo port install autoconf automake libtool
sudo port install icu erlang spidermonkey curl
svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/couchdb/tags/0.11.0 couchdb-0.11.0-src
cd couchdb-0.11.0-src
./bootstrap
./configure
>> You have configured Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
make && sudo make install
>> You have installed Apache CouchDB, time to relax.
Start the CouchDB server by running: sudo -i couchdb -b
>> Apache CouchDB has started, time to relax.
