Manual Start

Generally, one deploys the Leader on a machine and each Follower on an additional, separate, machine (one per Follower). In case the Leader and the Followers are running on the same machine (tests only), please make sure you use different ports (and data directories) for the Leader and the Followers.

Once the ArangoDB Leader and Followers have been deployed, the replication has to be started on each of the available Followers. This can be done at database level, or globally.
