Installation Instructions
*************************

After downloading the latest stable version of Crate Data from
https://crate.io/download/ the package needs to be unpacked:

   sh$ tar zxf crate-*.tar.gz

Now Cate can be started in the foreground like this:

   sh$ ./bin/crate

In order to start in the background add the *-d* option. If started in
the foreground you can use Control-C to stop the process again.

Note: Crate Data needs a working Java 7 virtual machine. We
  recommend using Oracle's Java on OSX and OpenJDK on Linux Systems.
