Start deployd server

Question

Here's how I'm told I should get started with deployd:

$ mkdir deploydapps
$ cd deploydapps
$ dpd create helloworld
$ cd helloworld
$ dpd

I can do the above no problems. However, here's where I'm stumbling.

The instructions say the deployd server starts and it also opens a dpd shell in the console like this:

$ dpd
starting deployd v 7.0.0

Maybe you'll get some hints from

DEBUG=* dpd

This shows traces including environment variables while dpd starts itself.

Hello world

@Esteban you can just type `$ DEBUG=* dpd` instead of `$ dpd`. Then, you should be able to see more detailed information while deployd is launching. – Hello world Jan 02 '15 at 01:13
