Environment Setup

locale settings

If you have problems building CouchDB, check if your local settings are correct:

 

locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

If LANG is empty, add this to your ~/.bash_profile:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

Tools

While developing CouchDB or applications based on CouchDB, it's good to have some tools available. Here is a list with the intention to be extended:

HTTP / TCP

httpie
cUrl
ngrep
wireshark
kerl (Easy building and installing of Erlang/OTP instances)
