  • "leofs" requires Erlang R14B04.
• Build and Package

$ git clone https://github.com/leo-project/leofs.git
$ cd leofs
$ make prepare
$ make
$ make release

• Modify Configuration File: detail
• Operate on "Manager Console": detail

## Need to modify configuration files - 
##     manager_master: leofs/package/leofs/manager_0/etc/app.config
##      manager_slave: leofs/package/leofs/manager_1/etc/app.config
##            storage: leofs/package/leofs/storage/etc/app.config
##            gateway: leofs/package/leofs/storage/etc/app.config
