Installing Magento2 - The quick way
So we all hate reading docs. Here is the quick setup for installing Magento2. If you want the long route - http://devdocs.magento.com/
I'm assuming you have composer, PHP 5.4+ and MySQL5.6+. If you have MAMP installed time to go sort that as it wont work (MAMP is on MySQL5.5.x).
1. Install Composer - curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php
2. mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer (might need to sudo)
3. Goto base httpdocs directory
4. git clone [email protected]:magento/magento2.git
5. Set permissions (like you do in Magento 1.x)
6. cd magento2

Magento2 Major Directories
Ignoring frontend logic the important directories I can see so far are:
- app/code/Magento - Holds Magento implementation modules, e.g Customer, Cart, Checkout
- internal/Magento/Framework - Magento Framework e.g. Session Handling, SQL Setup, Cache
- pub/errors - Can move the local.xml.sample to local.xml so you don't have to keep looking in report directory!!
- vendor - 3rd Party libraries loaded via composer
- app/<module_vendor> - 3rd Party magento extensions
- app/etc/env.php - db credentials, replaces local.xml?
- var/cache, var/generation & var/page_cache - Delete these 3 directories to fully flush cache

Running Magento2 Unit tests
Firstly you need to ensure you have enough memory allocated else the script will fall over.
Edit php.ini and I found that setting memory_limit to 1028M was enough (default is 128M).
If you want to find your php.ini then you can look at phpinfo.php, or do:
php -i | grep php.ini
To run the tests goto base root folder and type:
