To build riak, Erlang OTP 22 or higher is required.

To install and run on Ubuntu 22

1. sudo apt upgrade
2. sudo apt update
3. sudo apt install build-essential

9. sudo ./rebar3 get-deps
10. sudo make rel
11. Edit riak/rel/riak/etc/riak.config following the user documentation or the legacy documentation

make rel will build a release which can be run via rel/riak/bin/riak start. Riak is primarily configured via rel/riak/etc/riak.conf

To make a package, install appropriate build tools for your operating system and run make package.

To create a local multi-node build environment use make devclean; make devrel.

To test Riak use Riak Test.

Up to date documentation is not available, but work on documentation is ongoing and the core information available in the legacy documentation is still generally relevant.
