Assuming you have already set up a Joyent account and an ssh key, and know how to use the nano text editor.
This install takes about 15 minutes to get to a working high-performance basic Minecraft server with firewall and whitelist.

Update 27 June 2013 - See Greg Gaskill's blog http://greggaskill.us/2013/06/minecraft-on-smartos and repository https://github.com/aboron/minecraft-smartos-smf for more information about setting up a SmartOS service manifest for Minecraft Craftbukkit.
Provision a SmartOS Machine from the JoyentCloud. Log into your JoyentCloud account.  Provision a Machine Step 1 - select a base64 SmartOS Image. [I selected the us-west-1 datacenter, but pick the closest one to you]  Step 2 - Select a Size. For this case our settings are for Medium 2Gb RAM, 2CPU. (If you choose Small - you will have to lower the Java ram settings on the start.sh script.)  Step 3 - Confirm and Customize - Name your Machine Here  Provisioning takes about 1min, 50 seconds and your machine is live. The IP address for this example is 8.19.35.121 - this is where you will ssh into as root.  | SSH into your Machine and Set it up. or set up your own SmartOS host machine (no kvm required) and install pkgin. From a Linux machine, I initially set up my ssh key for Joyent from. (Windows can use PuTTY for setting up ssh keys and for ssh access) The passphrase is used in this case for authentication.
