You'll need CouchDB version 1.0.0 or higher. We're using some newish features. I recommend getting one from http://couchone.com/
Add a vhost config:
[vhosts]
packages:5984 = /jsregistry/_design/app/_rewrite
Where packages is the hostname where you'll be running the thing, and 5984 is the port that CouchDB is running on. If you're running on port 80, then omit the port altogether.
Now install couchapp:
npm install couchapp
Now run the sync app.js from this repository.
couchapp --design app.js --sync --couch http://localhost:5984/jsregistry
You may need to put a username and password in the URL:
couchapp --design app.js --sync --couch http://user:pass@localhost:5984/jsregistry
