Starting the ArangoDB server</h2>
<p>Create an empty directory, which will hold the database:</p>
<p><code>&gt; mkdir /tmp/vocbase</code></p>
<p>First start the ArgangoDB server. You can start it as daemon and redirect the output to a file as follows:</p>
<p><code>&gt; ./arangod --daemon --pid-file /tmp/arangod.pid --log.file /tmp/arangod.log /tmp/vocbase</code></p>
<p>This will start the ArangoDB server process, store its process identifier in the file <code>/tmp/arangod.pid</code> and write the output to <code>/tmp/arangod.log</code>. The database files will live in <code>/tmp/vocbase</code>.</p>

&gt; id = db.&lt;coll_name&gt;.save({ ... }); save a document
&gt; db.&lt;coll_name&gt;.remove(&lt;_id&gt;); delete a document

</pre></div> <p>This gives you a prompt, where you can issue JavaScript commands.</p>
<p>You might need to specify the endpoint, username and password in order to run the shell on your system. You can use the options --server.endpoint, --server.username and --server.password for this. If you do not specify a password, arangosh will prompt for one.</p>

Querying</h3>
<p>All documents are stored in collections. All collections are stored in a database.</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">arangosh&gt; db;
[object ArangoDatabase]
</pre></div><p>Creating a collection is simple. You can use the <code>_create</code> method of the <code>db</code> variable.</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">arangosh&gt; db._create("example");
[ArangoCollection 70628, "example" (status loaded)]
</pre></div><p>After the collection has been create you can easily access it using the path <code>db.example</code>. The collection currently shows as <code>loaded</code>, meaning that its loaded into memory. If you restart the server and access the collection again, it will now show as <code>unloaded</code>. You can also manually unload a collection</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">arangosh&gt; db.example.unload();
arangosh&gt; db.example;
[ArangoCollection 70628, "example" (status unloaded)]
</pre></div><p>In order to create new documents in a collection, use the <code>save</code> operator. If the collection is currently unloaded, it will automatically be loaded into memory.</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">arangosh&gt; db.example.save({ Hallo : "World" });
{ error : false, _id : "70628/1512420", _rev : 1512420 }
arangosh&gt; db.example.save({ name : "Musterman", age : 29 });
{ error : false, _id : "70628/1774564", _rev : 1774564 }
</pre></div><p>In order to select all elements of a collection, one can use the <code>all</code> operator.</p>
<div class="fragment"><pre class="fragment">arangosh&gt; start_pretty_print();

arangosh&gt; db.example.all().toArray();
