I want to play with Riak http://riak.basho.com/ or a least get it running on a Windows system. I have downloaded the source code and compiled it but that's where I get stuck, how do I start it?

It does run, altough I havent managed to run it as a service yet.

Install CYGwin, install latest erlang, get source code, compile in cygwin

then the fun part, adjust according to your paths and place into a batch

c:\riak\rel\riak\erts-5.7.4\bin\erl -boot c:\riak\rel\riak\releases\0.8\riak -embedded -config c:\riak\rel\riak\etc\app.config -args_file c:\riak\rel\riak\etc\vm.args -- console

Regards
