TileStream install guide tweeks (Ubuntu)

[nvkelso]

These comments from a friend who installed TileStream and ran into some Ubuntu ambiguity over where to download and install the apps, provide more inline explanation, getting the right version of required dependences (that are out of synch with the latest version) and setting some permissions.

1. Install build requirements:
   sudo apt-get install curl build-essential libssl-dev libsqlite3-0 libsqlite3-dev

2. Install node and nmp

   Prerequisites: Git and OpenSSL

   sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install git-core
   sudo apt-get install build-essential openssl libssl-dev

   use Git to install the latest version of Node.js

   git clone https://github.com/joyent/node.git && cd node

   Get the required version for tilestream

   git checkout v0.4.7
   ./configure
   make
   sudo make install

   test the version

   node -v

   to install NPM you will need to install curl

   sudo apt-get install curl

   don’t use sudo for the NPM install, just change the permissions to the /usr/local directory so that the installer can do its thing

   sudo chown -R $USER /usr/local
   curl http://npmjs.org/install.sh | sh

3. Download and unpack TileStream. Build & install:
   cd /opt
   sudo git clone git://github.com/mapbox/tilestream.git
   cd tilestream
   sudo npm install

4. Start TileStream:
   sudo ./index.js

Thanks for the feedback, @nvkelso. It would be great to continue linking off to the official instructions instructions for node installation. Were there specific problems with them that I could put into an issue report?

Did you happen to try using nvm to install node?

I've made some adjustments to the install guide. I was able to step through the entire process following the README without having to change any permissions. Please reopen if you run into any issues.

Thanks, Will! I'll have a look.
