A brand new installation seems to require specifying the name of the
directory for your installation.  So, for example:

-bash-3.00$ radiant
Usage: /home/danorine/ruby/bin/radiant /path/to/radiant/app [options]

Options:
    -r, --ruby=path                  Path to the Ruby binary of your choice
(otherwise scripts use env, dispatchers current path).
                                     Default: /home/danorine/ruby/bin/ruby
    -d, --database=name              Preconfigure for selected database
(options: mysql, postgresql, sqlite3, sqlserver).
                                     Default: mysql

Radiant Info:
    -v, --version                    Show the Radiant version number and
quit.
    -h, --help                       Show this help message and quit.

General Options:
    -p, --pretend                    Run but do not make any changes.
    -f, --force                      Overwrite files that already exist.
    -s, --skip                       Skip files that already exist.
    -q, --quiet                      Suppress normal output.
    -t, --backtrace                  Debugging: show backtrace on errors.
    -c, --svn                        Modify files with subversion. (Note:
svn must be in path)

and, yet:

== Installation and Setup

Once you have extracted the files into the directory where you would like to
install Radiant:

1. Create the MySQL/PostgreSQL/SQLite databases for your Web site. You only
   need to create the "production" database, but you may also want to create
   the "development" and "test" databases if you are developing extensions
   or running tests.

2. Edit config/database.yml to taste.

3. Run the database bootstrap rake task:

     % rake production db:bootstrap

   (If you would like bootstrap your development database run `rake
   development db:bootstrap`.)

4. Start it like a normal Rails application. To test execute:

     % script/server -e production

   And open your Web browser on port 3000 (http://localhost:3000). The
   administrative interface is available at /admin/. By default the
bootstrap
   rake task creates a user called "admin" with a password of "radiant".

When using Radiant on a production system you may also need to set
permissions
on the public and cache directories so that your Web server can access those
directories with the user that it runs under.

Once you've installed Radiant on your own Web site, be sure to add your name
and Web site to the list of radiant users:
