If you have the blockchain copy blocks and chainstate to your ~/.bitcoin

Set a .bitcoin/bitcoin.conf eg: 
server=1
rpcuser=ulyseus
rpcpassword=doNOTUSEthisPassword
rpcallowip=192.0.2.*
daemon=1
txindex=1


If you copied the blockchain --replaced the ~/.bitcoin/blocks and ~/.bitcoin/chainstate directories start bitcoind with --reindex 
$ bitcoind --reindex


else 
$ bitcoind


check 
$ bitcoind getinfo
{
    "version" : 90100,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "blocks" : 146049,

}
Great, around 15K more blocks to be up to date
