You can start a single node with

bin/riak start

Can you explain what is wrong in the documentation and what documentation you are using so that I can get it updated?

http://riak.basho.com/basic-setup.html ./start-restart.sh is not part of Riak anymore is it? I thought it was from an old release. Anyway, it is quite confusing when I google on Riak. It may be a good idea to always state the version number of Riak in the documentation – yazz.com Feb 09 '10 at 20:49

that doc is outdated, I'm working on getting all of the docs updated shortly. Sorry for any confusion. If you read the README in the source it explains things better. – Feb 09 '10 at 21:02
this is the doc you want http://hg.basho.com/riak/src/tip/README – Feb 09 '10 at 21:24
