$ git clone git://github.com/jgdavey/ec2boot.git

$ bundle

Note: RVM users may need to install a Ruby version.

Sign in to the AWS console and create a new Key Pair called fog_default, then download it and move it here:

~/.ec2/fog_default.pem

DON'T FORGET: you also have to chmod this file:

$ chmod 600 ~/.ec2/fog_default.pem

You'll need to setup a ~/.fog credentials file - we're using the default group, so something like this works:

:default:
  :aws_access_key_id: [KEY_ID]
  :aws_secret_access_key: [ACCESS_KEY]

You'll want to make sure that your default security group has SSH turned on.

To kick things off, run:

$ bin/bootstrap

This will launch and bootstrap a server for you and then spit out the ssh command to run that'll attach you to that configured server.

If you're interested in more than just dots, try tailing the bootlog:

$ tail -f bootlog.log

If you just want to use an exisiting image, run this:

$ bin/pairup
