Easy Install Of Demo

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Until the install script is bulletproofed, there should be an easy way for 
people to play with it for free.

I've posted an AWS image of collide pre-installed for anyone that wants to play 
with it, without any setup. This is handy if you're on windows, and can't 
easily get it running.

If you would like to spawn a working copy of collide-1.0, use the free image 
provided:

  Login to Amazon aws EC2 control panel ->
  Go to us west 1 (n. california) ->
  new instance wizard ->
  community amis -> 
  search for collide ->
  wait ->
  wait some more ->
  see the image, Collider-1.0 -> //misspelled it.  Oops!
  click through install ->
  make sure you whitelist port 8080 ->
  follow aws instructions to ssh into your instance ->
  type command 'collide' ->
  browse to YOUR_INSTANCE.amazonaws.com:8080 ->
  profit!

Oh, you'll also want to know that you have to login as user ubuntu

#!/bin/sh
ssh -i YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY.pem 
ubuntu@YOUR_INSTANCE_ID.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com

install script == build script?

It sounds like maybe we should put a built binary in the downloads?

I added a build distribution to the downloads page.

Awesome, thanks!

I will still maintain an amazon instance of current collide version for anyone 
that wants to setup a copy of collide without having to expose their own IP 
address and hard drive.

Distributing prebuilt code, especially the gwt compiles, will definitely ease 
adoption; the free tier on amazon balks on gwt compiles; I had to upgrade to 
paid to build the image, then use the image to downgrade back to free. =}
