@NAVIGATE_ToolsManual

This manual describes the client tools shipped with ArangoDB.

arangosh is an interactive, JavaScript-enabled shell that can be used to administer an ArangoDB server and run ad-hoc queries:

@CHAPTER_REF{UserManualArangosh}

arangoimp is a tool to bulk insert data from JSON, CSV or tab-separated files (TSV) files into an ArangoDB database:

@CHAPTER_REF{ImpManual}

ArangoDB since version 1.4 comes with two additional tools to support dumping data from an ArangoDB database and reloading them.

arangodump is a tool to create logical backups of one or many collections of an ArangoDB database:

@CHAPTER_REF{DumpManual}

arangorestore is a tool to reload data dumped with arangodump into an ArangoDB database. Data can be loaded into the same or a different database:

@CHAPTER_REF{RestoreManual}

Both arangodump and arangorestore are client tools that need to connect to a running ArangoDB server instance. arangodump will write all its output into a directory that needs to be specified when invoking it. arangorestore will read files from a directory that was formerly created by invoking arangodump.
