Installation
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
Head to [arangodb.com/download](https://www.arangodb.com/download/),
|
|
select your operating system and download ArangoDB. You may also follow
|
|
the instructions on how to install with a package manager, if available.
|
|
|
|
If you installed a binary package under Linux, the server is
|
|
automatically started.
|
|
|
|
If you installed ArangoDB using homebrew under macOS, start the
|
|
server by running `/usr/local/sbin/arangod`.
|
|
|
|
If you installed ArangoDB under Windows as a service, the server is
|
|
automatically started. Otherwise, run the `arangod.exe` located in the
|
|
installation folder's `bin` directory. You may have to run it as administrator
|
|
to grant it write permissions to `C:\Program Files`.
|
|
|
|
For more in-depth information on how to install ArangoDB, as well as available
|
|
startup parameters, installation in a cluster and so on, see
|
|
[Installation](../Installation/README.md) and
|
|
[Deployment](../Deployment/README.md).
|
|
|
|
{% hint 'info' %}
|
|
ArangoDB offers two [**storage engines**](../Architecture/StorageEngines.md):
|
|
MMFiles and RocksDB. Choose the one which suits your needs best in the
|
|
installation process or on first startup.
|

Securing the installation
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
The default installation contains one database *_system* and a user
|
|
named *root*.
|
|
|
|
Debian based packages and the Windows installer will ask for a
|
|
password during the installation process. Red-Hat based packages will
|
|
set a random password. For all other installation packages you need to
|
|
execute
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
shell> arango-secure-installation
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will ask for a root password and sets this password. |
