Proposal for Install Dgraph section of Readme.md

[hackintoshrao]

My idea is to enable everyone to use DGraph, to make DGraph as a default choice of database for application developers to build their mobile/web applications. One of the very significant steps needed to get there is to make setting up of Dgraph super simple and really easy, It should be made so simple that anyone can now, for the first time in history, should be able to have a GraphDB up running and ready to use in less than a minute.

In this regard here my propsal for the Install section of the Readme.md. That needs DGraph to offer binary releases ( One of advantages of DGraph being build in Go, need not ask users to install complicated libraries, just a binary would suffice! ).

Install and run DGraph

• GNU/Linux 64 bit.

  • Download the binary from https://downlaod.dgraph.com/server/release/v1/linux-64/dgaph .

    $ chmod +x dgraph
    
    $ ./dgraph --mutations ~/dgraph/m --postings ~/dgraph/p --uids ~/dgraph/u ` 
    

  (Note: Explore dgraph --help for more options)

• OSX 64 bit.

  • Download the binary from https://downlaod.dgraph.com/server/release/v1/linux-64/dgaph .

  $ chmod +x dgraph
  
  $ ./dgraph --mutations ~/dgraph/m --postings ~/dgraph/p --uids ~/dgraph/u ` 
  

• Docker

$ docker pull dgraph/dgraph:latest
# Setting a somedir volume on the host will persist your data.
$ docker run -t -i -v /somedir:/dgraph -p 80:8080 dgraph/dgraph:latest
# Ensure mutations directory exists.
$ mkdir /dgraph/m
# Run the server
$ dgraph --mutations /dgraph/m --postings /dgraph/p --uids /dgraph/u

• From Source

NOTE: Source installation is intended for only developers and advanced users. For general use, please download official releases from https://download.dgraph.io/

If you do not have a working Golang environment, please follow [Install Golang]([Go 1.6 from here]%28https://golang.org/dl/%29.).

$ go get -d github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph
#Make file takes care of installing RocksDB dependency too. 
$ make
$ $GOPATH/bin/dgraph --mutations /dgraph/m --postings /dgraph/p --uids /dgraph/u
