If you are using WebStorm, you are effectively already set up. Just clone the rep and pull it locally.

If you do not have node.js, run brew install node
Run npm install to get all of the components listed in package.json
Run brew install mongodb (you can use either the launchctl (persistent) or one-time loader as shown by the brew install.) If this does not work, try brew install -g mongodb
Run npm install -g bower
Run npm install -g grunt-cli
bower install to install all of the components in bower.json
npm install protractor (may be unnecessary ... already in package.json)
From farseer/node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/bin run ./webdriver-manager update --standalone to make the selenium standalone server available

From farseer/node_modules/grunt-protractor-runner/node_modules/protractor/bin run ./webdriver-manager start in the terminal window to start selenium
Run launchctl load homebrew.mxcl.mongodb.plist to start mongoDb.
In a separate terminal window, run grunt to build the system and run the tests, then run grunt serve
