Install rebar. You can do that via homebrew:
brew update
brew install rebar
Drop these templates in ~/.rebar/templates/:
cp riak* ~/.rebar/templates
Then:
mkdir myapp
cd myapp
rebar create template=riak_core appid=myapp
git init
git commit -am "omg riak_core"
git push
Integrate this app into your node's rebar.config:
...
{deps, [
{riak_core, "1.0.*", {git, "git://github.com/basho/riak_core", "1.0"}},
{myapp, ".*", {git, "git@github.com:bij/myapp.git", "HEAD"}},
]}
...
Add it to your reltool.config, then generate a release with rebar generate.
Fire up your node, attach, and test out the included public API's ping/0
function, which should return {pong, Partition}:
1> riak_core_node_watcher:services().
[riak_myapp]
2> myapp:ping().
{pong,753586781748746817198774991869333432010090217472}
