Starting nitrogen (erlang)

I need some help starting nitrogen 2.1

This document (http:// nitrogenproject.com/doc/index.html) tells me to run ./deps/get_mochiweb.sh - but the deps folder contains no such script

ls ../../deps

nitrogen_core nprocreg simple_bridge sync

These slides on the other hand: http:// nitrogenproject.com/doc/tutorial.html tell me to run

./bin/nitrogen console

open http://localhost:8000

I seems more reasonable, but I don't quite get it. "./bin/nitrogen console" opens up an erlang console, but as far as i know "open http://localhost:8000" isn't erlang syntax. If i run i nothing happens. After I exit nothing is listing to port 8000

I'm not sure what to do from here

It probably tells you that you can test if Nitrogen is up and running just connecting to port 8000 via your web browser. - YasirA

Once the application is running you have a web server listening on port 8000. Open a web browser and browse to localhost:8000.

If you are just starting with Nitrogen, it might be better to run "quickstart.sh":

cd Quickstart
./quickstart.sh

Now point your browser to http://localhost:8000 and play with Nitrogen demos to get a hang of it.

Once you are ready to use Nitrogen for your project, you can build a release on top of yaws or mochiweb.
