These scripts can be used to configure and start Riak for use in integration testing your Riak client library.

• Either install Riak using your package manager, or build Riak from source. Here is the general sequence of commands to build a rel release, which will create a single-node:

  mkdir -p $HOME/Projects/basho
  cd $HOME/Projects/basho
  git clone git://github.com/basho/riak.git
  cd riak
  make locked-deps
  make rel
  

  More info can be found in the documentation

• Then, use the setup-riak script to configure and start Riak. If you installed Riak from a package, no arguments should be necessary. Otherwise, the script assumes that a rel is available at $HOME/basho/riak/rel. This can be changed via the -p argument:

  ./setup-riak -p Path/to/riak/rel
  ./setup-riak -p Path/to/riak/dev
  

  If your packaging system installs the riak.conf somewhere other than /etc/riak/riak.conf, use the -f argument:

  ./setup-riak -f /opt/riak/etc/riak.conf
  

./setup-riak: set up a Riak cluster (one or several nodes)

Usage:

setup-riak [-p <riak rel or devrel path>]
           [-f <riak.conf from installed pkg>]
           [-l PB:HTTP] [-d <secs>] [-clsxz]

-p  Riak devrel or rel path (Default: "$HOME/riak/rel")
-f  riak.conf from package (Default: "/etc/riak/riak.conf")
-d  Delay Riak operations (Default: 0 seconds)
-c  Set up cluster for Strong Consistency (NB: use at least 5 nodes)
-s  Set up cluster to use Riak Security
-x  Shut down any nodes and clean up directories.
-z  Set up cluster WITHOUT Yokozuna Search (Default: on)

-l  PB:HTTP Use PB as PB port (Default: 8087),
            HTTP as HTTP port (Default: 8098)
