!CHAPTER First Steps in ArangoDB
For installation instructions, please refer to the
[Installation Manual](../Installing/README.md).
As you know from the introduction ArangoDB is a multi-model open-source
Database. You can see the Key features below or look directly at the programs in
the ArangoDB package.
Key features include:
* *Schema-free schemata*: Lets you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with
the performance power of NoSQL
* *Application server*: Use ArangoDB as an application server and fuse your
application and database together for maximal throughput
* *JavaScript for all*: No language zoo, you can use one language from your
browser to your back-end
* *Flexible data modeling*: Model your data as combinations of key-value pairs,
documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
* *Free index choice*: Use the correct index for your problem, may it be a skip
list or a fulltext search
* *Configurable durability*: Let the application decide if it needs more
durability or more performance
* *No-nonsense storage*: ArangoDB uses all of the power of modern storage
hardware, like SSD and large caches
* *Powerful query language* (AQL) to retrieve and modify data
* *Transactions*: Run queries on multiple documents or collections with
optional transactional consistency and isolation
* *Replication*: Set up the database in a master-slave configuration
* It is open source (*Apache License 2.0*)

!CHAPTER Getting started
!SECTION ArangoDB programs
The ArangoDB package comes with the following programs:
* _arangod_: The ArangoDB database daemon. This server program is
* `arangod`: The ArangoDB database daemon. This server program is
intended to run as a daemon process and to serve the various clients
connection to the server via TCP / HTTP. See [Details about the ArangoDB Server](../FirstSteps/Arangod.md)
* _arangosh_: The ArangoDB shell. A client that implements a
connection to the server via TCP / HTTP.
See [Details about the ArangoDB Server](../GettingStarted/Arangod.md)
* `arangosh`: The ArangoDB shell. A client that implements a
read-eval-print loop (REPL) and provides functions to access and
administrate the ArangoDB server. See [Details about the ArangoDB Shell](../FirstSteps/Arangosh.md).
* _arangoimp_: A bulk importer for the ArangoDB server.
See [Details about Arangoimp](../HttpBulkImports/Arangoimp.md).
* _arangodump_: A tool to create backups of an ArangoDB database. See
[Details about Arangodump](../HttpBulkImports/Arangodump.md).
* _arangorestore_: A tool to reload data from a backup into an ArangoDB database.
See [Details about Arangorestore](../HttpBulkImports/Arangorestore.md)
* _arango-dfdb_: A datafile debugger for ArangoDB. It is intended to be
used primarily during development of ArangoDB
administrate the ArangoDB server.
