New Build Docs Page

[Varunram]

• I've asked for help in the Mist Gitter before filing this issue.

I find that there are no clear build guidelines regarding how to get started with a build environment. On OSX, I keep getting a bunch of errors that won't go or a simple loading screen (sometimes I do get the intro page, but it tops there). It would be nice if we could have a doc like build.md or similar so that getting started becomes easier. Thanks!

Hi @Varunram,

README.md explains how to get up to speed, but you could tell me what specific issue are you running into, so I can help you — and update readme accordingly.

Thanks

@evertonfraga Thanks for the swift response! I cloned the repo, installed the dependencies and started both meteor and yarn only to get

[2017-12-14 13:15:00.788] [INFO] Sockets/node-ipc - Connect to {"path":"/var/root/Library/Ethereum/geth.ipc"}
[2017-12-14 13:15:00.789] [WARN] Sockets/node-ipc - Connection failed, retrying after 1000ms...

I tested geth separately and it works fine, so I didn't know where this came from.

On wallet mode, I got the welcome screen once, but it stops again at the same place. Sometimes I get this error:

Node type: geth
Network: main
Platform: darwin (Architecture x64)

...WARN [12-14|13:16:49] No etherbase set and no accounts found as default 
Fatal: Error starting protocol stack: datadir already used by another process

I'm pretty sure there is no eth-related process running anywhere, so I don't know why this happens. geth syncs fine though, as I verified that separately

I thought a few steps to setup a local chain would be really useful. If you could add that along in the README, that'd be great. Thanks!
