!CHAPTER Getting familiar with ArangoDB
First of all download and install the corresponding RPM or Debian package or use
homebrew on the MacOS X. See the [installation manual](../Installing/README.md) for more details.
In case you just want to experiment with ArangoDB you
can use the [online](https://www.arangodb.com/tryitout) demo without
installing ArangoDB locally.
!SUBSECTION For Linux
* Visit the official [ArangoDB install page](https://www.arangodb.com/install)
and download the correct package for your Linux distribution
* Install the package using your favorite package manager
* Start up the database server, normally this is done by
executing */etc/init.d/arangod start*. The exact command
depends on your Linux distribution
!SUBSECTION For MacOS X
* Execute *brew install arangodb*
* And start the server using */usr/local/sbin/arangod &*
!SUBSECTION For Microsoft Windows
* Visit the official [ArangoDB install page](https://www.arangodb.com/install)
and download the installer for Windows
* Start up the database server
After these steps there should be a running instance of *_arangod_* -
the ArangoDB database server.
unix> ps auxw | fgrep arangod

If there is no such process, check the log file
*/var/log/arangodb/arangod.log* for errors. If you see a log message
like

2012-12-03T11:35:29Z [12882] ERROR It seems like you have upgraded the ArangoDB binary. If this is what you wanted to do, please restart with the --upgrade option to upgrade the data in the database directory.
