# ArangoDB
|
|
|
|
We recently started a new open source project - a nosql database
|
|
called AvocadoDB which became ArangoDB in May 2012. ArangoDB is
|
|
currently available as an alpha version.
|
|
We want to have a stable version 1 ready soon. A multi server version is planned
|
|
for the third quarter of 2012. For details see the roadmap.
|
|
|
|
Key features include:
|
|
|
|
* Schema-free schemata let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the performance power of NoSQL
|
|
* Use ArangoDB as an application server and fuse your application and database together for maximal throughput
|
|
* JavaScript for all: no language zoo, you can use one language from your browser to your back-end
|
|
* ArangoDB is multi-threaded - exploit the power of all your cores
|
|
* Flexible data modeling: model your data as combination of key-value pairs, documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
|
|
* Free index choice: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list or a n-gram search
|
|
* Configurable durability: let the application decide if it needs more durability or more performance
|
|
* No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of modern storage hardware, like SSD and large caches
|
|
* Powerful query language (AQL) to retrieve data
|
|
* It is open source (Apache Licence 2.0)
|
|
|
|
For more in-depth information

|
* read more on the [design goals of ArangoDB](http://www.arangodb.org/2012/03/07/avocadodbs-design-objectives)
|
|
* [watch the video](http://vimeo.com/36411892) - Martin Schoenert, architect of ArangoDB, gives an introduction of what the ArangoDB project is about.

## Compilation
|
|
|
|
Please check the <a href="https://github.com/triAGENS/ArangoDB/wiki">wiki</a>
|
|
for installation and compilation instructions:
|
|
|
|
### Mac OS X Hints
|
|
|
|
On Mac OS X you can install ArangoDB using the packagemanager [Homebrew](http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/):
|
|
|
|
* `brew install arangodb` (use `--HEAD` in order to build ArangoDB from current master)
|
|
|
|
This will install ArangoDB and all dependencies. Note that the server will be installed as
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/sbin/arangod
|
|
|
|
The ArangoDB shell will be install as
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin/arangosh
|
|
|
|
## First Steps
|
|
|
|
Start the server:
|
|
|
|
> mkdir /tmp/vocbase
|
|
> bin/arangod /tmp/vocbase

## Caveat
|
|
|
|
Please note that this is a very early version of ArangoDB. There will be
|
|
bugs and we'd really appreciate it if you
|
|
