After the release is untarred, you will be able to `cd` into the `riak`
directory and execute `bin/riak start` to start the Riak node.

## Homebrew

{{% note title="Warning: Homebrew not always up to date" %}}
Homebrew's Riak recipe is community supported, and thus is not always up to
date with the latest Riak package. Please ensure that the current recipe is
using the latest supported code (and don't be afraid to update it if it's
not).
{{% /note %}}

Installing Riak 2.0 with [Homebrew](http://brew.sh/) is easy:

```bash
brew install --devrel riak
```

By default, this will place a `2.2.3` folder in
`/usr/local/Cellar/riak`.

Be aware that you will most likely see the following message after
running `brew install`:

```
Error: The `brew link` step did not complete successfully
The formula built, but is not symlinked into /usr/local

You can try again using:
brew link riak
```

We do not recommend using `brew link` with Riak. Instead, we recommend
either copying that directory to a desired location on your machine,
aliasing the executables in the `/bin` directory, or interacting with
the Riak installation directory via environment variables.

**Note**: Homebrew will install Erlang if you don't have it already.
