Start from a release tarball or building the project yourself.
Makre sure you have the dependencies for your operating system.
Then configure $PREFIX with the path where you want to install Hue by running:
PREFIX=/usr/share make install
cd /usr/share/hue
You can install Hue anywhere on your system, and run Hue as a non-root user.
It is a good practice to create a new user for Hue and either install Hue in
that user's home directory, or in a directory within /usr/share.
After the installation, you can start Hue on your Hue Server by doing:
build/env/bin/supervisor
This will start several subprocesses, corresponding to the different Hue components. Your Hue installation is now running.
After installation, you can use Hue by navigating to http://myserver:8888/.
Next step is to configure Hue to point to the external services. Then, the user guide will help users go through the various installed applications.
