Automated miner setup Ubuntu 14.04
This script can be used for AWS or other hosters which allow to provide a setup script. The LTS version of Ubuntu comes with an old version of boost, so we need to install a more recent one. This can be skipped on distributions including boost>=1.57, just install libboost-all-dev or the corresponding package then.
Replace every 36 with the amount of threads (cores) you want to use. Replace the accountnames and set the private keys. You can add as many accounts as you like, each with a new line. Remove the last \ from the final script.

Launched ubuntu 14.04 instance and followed your instructions but ended up with cannot find boost errors at cmake...
I would appreciate a simple "working" step by step guide for noobs, from launching a AWS instance to a working miner.
If memory is low
cmake -DENABLE_CONTENT_PATCHING=OFF -DLOW_MEMORY_NODE=ON CMakeLists.txt
If boost not found
cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/opt/boost_1_57_0 .
Doesn't get simpler than listing all necessary steps :P
Make sure boost was installed to /opt/boost_1_57_0 and that you didn't forget the "export ..." line. Remove the " > /dev/null" at the end of boost installations to debug those.
