I know ES2 is prebeta - but I'm interesting in trying it out. Are there instructions somewhere on how to setup and run it?

We will be releasing a packaged version of it next week.
Till then you will need to build it yourself, check out [https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/#building-from-source](https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/#building-from-source) for more on that.
