I haven't installed Reddit from scratch in quite some time.

I just looked at the reddit github source. You can get to it from www.reddit.com/r/redditdev

There appears to be an installer script now along with upstart scripts to launch the services. This is vastly simpler than it was when I was using the code. I had to manually install all of the dependencies; looks like they have taken care of that.

There is also a vm floating around with an already installed reddit. I'm not going to track it down but it should be able to get you up and running in a few minutes.

Thanks! I'm not a techie, so forgive the stupid question: is HN running Reddit code or something custom built?
