Our easy setup instructions are in our README.rst file. You can read it online at https://sourceforge.net/p/allura/git/#readme
You should be able to get Allura up and running in well under an hour by following those instructions.

+Enabling inbound email
+----------------------
+
+Allura can listen for email messages and update tools and artifacts. For example, every ticket has an email address, and
+emails sent to that address will be added as comments on the ticket. To set up the SMTP listener, run::
+
+(anvil)~/src/forge/Allura$ nohup paster smtp_server development.ini > ~/logs/smtp.log &
+
+By default this uses port 8825. Depending on your mail routing, you may need to change that port number.
+And if the port is in use, this command will fail. You can check the log file for any errors.
+To change the port number, edit `development.ini` and change `forgemail.port` to the appropriate port number for your environment.
