17 +Running catalyst from a Git checkout
18 +------------------------------------
19 +
20 +If you're developing catalyst, you'll want to test your altered
21 +version. An easy way to run it without reinstalling is to setup a
22 +local configuration file and run:
23 +
24 + # ./catalyst -c catalyst.conf -f path/to/your.spec
25 +
26 +The local configuration file can use all the defaults except for
27 +`sharedir`, which you should change to point to your development
28 +directory:
29 +
30 + sharedir="/home/wking/src/catalyst"
