Installing and running Large Scale Analysis for OpenStudio

I wish to perform large scale analysis using OpenStudio but I have difficulties to follow the installation process described here: http://nrel.github.io/OpenStudio-user-documentation/tutorials/large_scale_analysis/

I have a number of questions:

  1. "Starting OpenStudio's Cloud": Do I need to install Ruby and Git before running this code from my OS' command prompt? (i.e. gem install bundler, git clone ..., etc.)
  2. "Export spreadsheet": Tried to "Export Analysis Spreadsheet" from PAT but got a "Export failed" error. (I'm using a simple test building with one room which runs smoothly in PAT)
  3. "Running OpenStudio's cloud": must this command be run from a specific path? (rake run)

It seems that "Large Scale Analysis" is still a rough beta version. But I strongly believe that the community will benefit from these features so I hope the hard-working developers will continue down that path and make "large scale analyses" more accessible and user-friendly :-) Hope to hear from you..

NB: I am running OpenStudio 1.11.0 and have an account at Amazon EC2 web services.
