Installation

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 .

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 and .

The default installation contains one database _system and a user named root.

This will ask for a root password and sets this password.

The password that is set for the root user during the installation of the ArangoDB package has no effect in case of deployments done with the ArangoDB Starter. See Securing Starter Deployments instead.
