Installing sample mashups and services in Presto

In my previous posts I've explained getting Presto up and running on a mac.  At this point you are able to use Presto to create your own mashups.  This is of course useful, but the platform also comes with a # of sample services and mashups, as well as scripts for installing 50 mashups from the programmable web site (programmableweb.com).  The following are instructions on installing these samples.

First, run registerSamples.sh in the prestocli directory.  You'll see output similar to the following.  Be patient as it will take a few minutes to complete.



Upon completion, you will see services in their dashboard...



Now install the sample mashups...



And you will see the mashups in the dashboard:



And finally, install the programmable web apis, which are available here...  Download the zip file, expand it into your prestocli directory (not a sub directory because the script depends upon a script in the presto root directory), and run registerProgrammableWeb.sh...



There were a few errors during my install.  I haven't diagnosed them, but things seemed to work well enough.

Ready to get mashing!

I'll follow up with actual examples of building mashups, as well as with using the mashup studio.
