+#maybe this should be two files
+#one which includes cloning diaspora/diaspora, and one that assumes you already cloned it yourself
+# maybe one script just calls another?
+
+
+#other ideas what we could do
+
+#1. check that you have ruby installed, if not, point to wiki page and exit
+#2. check to see if we need sudo (generally, if it is a system ruby you need sudo, which you can check
+ # if which ruby is /usr/bin/ruby, or does not have rvm in the path)
+#3 check if you have bundle installed and install it, and install with/without sudo if you need it
+
+#check if you have mysql and/or postgres installed, point to wiki page if neither is found.
+#(maybe even switch database.yml if this is the case?)
+
+#make it work if you have just cloned diapsora and want a quick setup, or
+#support magic install, like this http://docs.meteor.com/#quickstart
+
