Using Vagrant and Chef

A Chef recipe is available from jbianquetti at

https://github.com/jbianquetti/chef-arangodb

Mac OS X

The preferred method for installing ArangoDB under Mac OS X is homebrew. However, in case you are not using homebrew, we provide a command-line app which contains all the executables.

There is also a version available in the AppStore, which comes with a nice graphical user interface to start and stop the server.

Homebrew

If you are using @S_EXTREF{http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/,homebrew}, then you can install the ArangoDB using brew as follows:

brew install arangodb

This will install the current stable version of ArangoDB and all dependencies within your Homebrew tree. Note that the server will be installed as

/usr/local/sbin/arangod

The ArangoDB shell will be install as

/usr/local/bin/arangosh

If you want to install the latest (unstable) version use:

brew install --HEAD arangodb

You can unstall ArangoDB using

brew uninstall arangodb

However, in case you started ArangoDB using the launchctl, then you need to unload it before uninstalling the server.

launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.arangodb.plist

Then remove the LaunchAgent

rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.arangodb.plist

Apple's App Store

ArangoDB is available in Apple's App-Store. Please note, that it sometimes takes days or weeks until the latest versions are available.

Command-Line App

In case you are not using homebrew, we also provide a command-line app. You can download it from

http://www.arangodb.org/download

Choose Mac OS X and go to Grab binary packages directly. This allows you to install the application ArangoDB-CLI in your application folder.

Starting the application will start the server and open a terminal window showing you the log-file.

ArangoDB server has been started

The database directory is located at
   '/Applications/ArangoDB-CLI.app/Contents/MacOS/opt/arangodb/var/lib/arangodb'

The log file is located at
   '/Applications/ArangoDB-CLI.app/Contents/MacOS/opt/arangodb/var/log/arangodb/arangod.log'

You can access the server using a browser at 'http://127.0.0.1:8529/'
or start the ArangoDB shell
   '/Applications/ArangoDB-CLI.app/Contents/MacOS/arangosh'

Switching to log-file now, killing this windows will NOT stop the server.


2013-10-27T19:42:04Z [23840] INFO ArangoDB (version 1.4.devel [darwin]) is ready for business. Have fun!

Note that it is possible to install the homebrew version and the command-line app. You should, however, edit the configuration files of one version and change the port used.

Windows

We provide precompiled Windows binaries for ArangoDB. The binaries are statically linked with the required libraries such as V8, but they may still require some Windows platform libraries to be present. These libraries should be present on a Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 by default, but there may be issues with other platforms.

The Windows builds are available as .msi packages @EXTREF{http://www.arangodb.org/download/,here}. Please note that we provide binaries for 32 and 64 bit Windows, and that you need to choose the correct package for your platform.

The msi installer will install the ArangoDB server (arangod.exe), the ArangoDB shell (arangosh.exe) and the ArangoDB import tool (arangoimp.exe) in a directory of the user's choice (defaulting to c:\triAGENS).

Included Files

Included in the distribution are some .bat files that can be used to easily start the ArangoDB server and shell. The .bat files will be installed in the same directory as ArangoDB so they should be easy to find.

Along with ArangoDB some example configuration files (with .conf file ending) will be installed. These configuration files are used by the batch files with the same name, and you might adjust them for your own needs.

The following executables are provided:

  • arangod.exe: the ArangoDB server binary
  • arangosh.exe: the ArangoShell (arangosh) binary
  • arangoimp.exe: an import tool for ArangoDB
  • arangodump.exe: a dump tool for ArangoDB
  • arangorestore.exe: a restore tool for ArangoDB

You can invoke any of the above executables on the command-line directly, however, to properly run each executable needs some configuration. The configuration can be provided as command-line arguments when invoking the executable, or be specified in configuration files.

ArangoDB is shipped with a few example configuration files and example batch files that can be used to easily invoke some of the executables with the default configuration.

The following configuration files are provided:

  • arangod.conf: configuration for the ArangoDB server, used by arangod.bat, console.bat, and upgrade.bat
  • arangosh.conf: configuration for the ArangoDB shell, used by arangosh.bat and foxx-manager.bat
  • arangoimp.conf: configuration for the ArangoDB import tool
  • arangodump.conf: configuration for the ArangoDB dump tool
  • arangorestore.conf: configuration for the ArangoDB restore tool

The following batch files are provided:

  • arangod.bat: starts the ArangoDB server, with networking enabled
  • console.bat: starts the ArangoDB server in emergency console mode, with networking disabled
  • upgrade.bat: upgrades an existing ArangoDB server
  • arangosh.bat: starts the ArangoDB shell (requires an already running ArangoDB server instance)
  • foxx-manager.bat: installation utility for Foxx applications

Starting ArangoDB

To start the ArangoDB server, use the file arangod.bat. This wil start the ArangoDB server with networking enabled. It will use the configuration specified in file arangod.conf. Once started, the ArangoDB server will run until you terminate it pressing CTRL-C. Starting ArangoDB for the first time will automatically create a database sub-directory in the directory ArangoDB was installed in.

Once the ArangoDB server is running, you can use your browser to check whether you can connect. Please navigate to confirm:

http://127.0.0.1:8529/

Please note that when using ArangoDB's web interface with Internet Explorer (IE), you will need IE version 9 or higher to use all features. The web interface partly relies on SVG, which is not available in previous versions of IE.

To start the ArangoDB shell (arangosh), use the batch file arangosh.bat while the ArangoDB server is already running.

If you already have a previous version of ArangoDB installed and want to upgrade to a newer version, use the batch file upgrade.bat This will start ArangoDB with the --upgrade option and perform a migration of an existing database. Please note that you need to stop a running ArangoDB server instance before you upgrade. Please also check the output of the upgrade.bat run for any potential errors. If the upgrade completes successfully, you can restart the server regularly using the arangod.bat script.

To run any of the ArangoDB executables in your own environment, you will probably need to adjust the configuration. It is advised that you use a separate configuration file, and specify the configuration filename on the command-line when invoking the executable as follows (example for arangod):

> arangod.exe -c path\to\arangod.conf

Limitations for Cygwin

Please note some important limitations when running ArangoDB under Cygwin: Starting ArangoDB can be started from out of a Cygwin terminal, but pressing CTRL-C will forcefully kill the server process, without giving it a chance to handle the kill signal. In this case, a regular server shutdown is not possible, which may leave a file LOCK around in the server's data directory. This file needs to be removed manually to make ArangoDB start again. Additionally, as ArangoDB does not have a chance to handle the kill signal, the server cannot forcefully flush any data to disk on shutdown, leading to potential data loss. When starting ArangoDB from a Cygwin terminal it might also happen that no errors are printed in the terminal output. Starting ArangoDB from an MS-DOS command prompt does not impose these limitations and is thus the preferred method.

Please note that ArangoDB uses UTF-8 as its internal encoding and that the system console must support a UTF-8 codepage (65001) and font. It may be necessary to manually switch the console font to a font that supports UTF-8.
