## Installation
After you install it, visit this link to open Removalist:
http://yourcouch/yourdb/_design/removalist/_rewrite
### Quick install
* [Get a couch](http://couchone.com/get), make a database and put some data into it.
* Copy these utilities to the new db:
curl -X POST http://user:pass@YOURCOUCH/\_replicate -d '{"source":"http://max.couchone.com/apps","target":"YOURDB", "doc\_ids":["_design/removalist"]}' -H "Content-type: application/json"
### In-depth install
You'll have to get yourself a couch. The easiest way is from [the instructions on this page](http://couchone.com/get). Once it's going, open up `http://YOURCOUCH/_utils` and create a new database to store your data.
You can either replicate the couchapp from my couch [max.couchone.com/apps/_design/removalist](http://max.couchone.com/apps/_design/removalist) (quickest option) or, if you want to hack on the removalist source code first, you'll need to install the [CouchApp command line utility](http://couchapp.org/page/installing) and check out this repo.
If you want to hack on removalist, once you have the couchapp utility working, <code>git clone</code> this repo and go into this folder and execute <code>couchapp init</code>. To upload removalist into your couch just run <code>couchapp push http://YOURCOUCH/DATABASENAME</code>. Otherwise see the Quick install section above.
