This is just a rough preliminary guide to get you started. Extensive documentation as well as a binary distribution will follow shortly.

• Java 1.6+
• Maven 3.0+

1. checkout sources
2. run mvn install

The build is going to produce two artifacts of interest:

• kipeto/target/kipeto-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar
• kipeto-tools/target/kipeto-tools-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar

For the rest of this document we refer to them as kipeto.jar and kipeto-tools.jar.

1. prepare an application directory suitable for distribution
2. create a blueprint java -jar kipeto-tools.jar create_blueprint -b <blueprint-name> -n <description> -d <kipeto-data-dir> -s <application-dir>
3. publish the repository (<kipeto-data-dir>/repos) to a suitable web server such as apache.
4. install the created blueprint java -jar kipeto.jar -g -b <blueprint-name> -d <kipeto-data-dir> -r <remote-repository-url> -t <target-dir>

That's about it ;-)
