Beef dat readme, yo

I can't actually get up and running with just the README as is.

1. Ember-cli npm install -g ember-cli.

This first step needs help. Is this just one giant command to enter? I tried that and just got Ember-cli: command not found. Step 1 should start from ground zero, assuming no prior experience with ember, or maybe even node.

Actually, having a script/setup to run would be even more ✨ 🤘 ❤️.

So I realized that it's just poor sentence formatting and I just needed to run npm install ember-cli, so I got that all setup. But I'm still getting stuck further down the readme on configuring couch. Where even is the local.ini file??

Where even is the local.ini file??

To be clear, I did find this in the Couchdb wiki:

The default location of the default.ini file is in /usr/local/etc/couchdb

However, no such or similar directory seems to exist on my machine. My /etc dir doesn't contain a couchdb subdir.

How did you install couch?

Also, right now there are issues running the frontend without the corresponding backend/node.js server. I am going to make a change so that the frontend will run properly without requiring the server to be up and running.

How did you install couch?

The current README says:

Install/configure couchdb http://couchdb.apache.org/#download

...so that's exactly what I did. I downloaded an OSX package from there, and dragged the CouchDB application into my Applications folder. Seems odd though that it installs an actual GUI application that you have to run.

Ok... I added a script, initcouch.sh which you can run to initialize a new couchdb install. It sets up the required DBs, configures the required couchdb configurations and creates an admin user, hradmin with password test. Couch will need to be running to run this script.

Also, make sure you do a git pull and a npm update. I had to update some of the files that ember server uses.
