So what junk does holochain put on your computer and where does it put it?

Linux

Go: When we have an automated installer, this manual go installay should disappear, but until then, you will need to install the Go Language, and set your $GOPATH.

This should set up a directory for go programs at ~/go and when you install the holochain program by typing go get github.com/metacurrency/holochain it will automatically install in subdirectories of the same name. It will also automatically grab other dependencies and install them in their respective paths under ~/go.

bin

Holochain: In your user directory a new (invisible) directory should have been created called .holochain. You can go to it by typing cd ~/.holochain

Subdirectory for each holochain named with the chain name with these contents:

Name	Description
chain.db	This is your local hashchain that you sign new entries to as you commit changes to your state in this holochain. This is a key-value store powered by ((Bolt/Bundt))
dna.conf	The DNA configuration file which specifies the application code (zome files) and holochain name and identifiers
zome_<name>	These are the application files. They will end in .zy if they're zygomys/Lisp files, .js if they're JavaScript, etc.
ui	This is the directory where you'll find user interface files (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) You can install additional UX/UI systems or components by dropping them into subdirectories here.

Mac

Don't know -- Probably same as Linux...

Windows

We haven't set up a Windows installation yet and tried it yet... I think we'll need an installer which will probably throw stuff into the installing user's Virtual Store at: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\MetaCurrency\Holochain\

Meanwhile you'll need to install Go manually and things will end up wherever Go puts programs.
