First, make sure you have erlang installed. Version 18 is prefered, but older versions will probably work. Here is one way to download it: http:https://www.erlang.org/download.html , here are erlang install instructions: http:https://www.erlang.org/doc/installation_guide/INSTALL.html
For ubuntu, I needed to install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
sudo apt-get install unixodbc-dev
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install git
Next, download Flying Fox.
#for linux
wget https://github.com/BumblebeeBat/FlyingFox/archive/development.zip
unzip development.zip
#for mac, use curl.
Now you can go into the directory, and compile flying fox.
cd FlyingFox-development/
sh install.sh
Start your node with this script:
sh start.sh
Then open this URL in your browser: http:https://localhost:3011/login.html
When you are done, you can turn the node off by clicking "halt" in your browser, or by running this command in the flying fox command line interface:
flying_fox_sup:stop()
