README.md should contain basic build/run instructions #101

I cloned the repository, and based on the presence of package.json, I thought to do npm install which is taking a long time. I can't tell if it's installing/compiling Redis or not.

Based on the presence of Gruntfile.js, I know I should do grunt build (from reading the Gruntfile). I'm not sure what I will do after that.

Is there a source of build instructions that is being maintained somewhere else?

Okay so far what I've done is

npm install npm install -g bower bower install npm install -g grunt-cli grunt install

All of that completed successfully, apparently, so yay!

Now I'm trying node server/app.js as well as cd server; node app.js but both are failing with:

Error: Cannot find module './config'
    at Function.Module._resolveFilename (module.js:336:15)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:278:25)

    at Module.load (module.js:355:32)
    at Function.Module._load (module.js:310:12)

So I assume I need to create some config module? Is there documentation for that somewhere?

I added basic build instructions to README. Please note, the software is still in alpha..
