This page has instructions to set up a single stand-alone BigchainDB node for learning or experimenting. Instructions for other cases are [elsewhere](introduction.html). We will assume you're using Ubuntu 16.04 or similar. If you're not using Linux, then you might try [running BigchainDB with Docker](appendices/run-with-docker.html).
-A. Install the database backend.
+A. Install MongoDB as the database backend. (There are other options but you can ignore them for now.)
-[Install RethinkDB Server](https://rethinkdb.com/docs/install/ubuntu/) or

+You now have a running BigchainDB Server and can post transactions to it.
+One way to do that is to use the BigchainDB Python Driver.
-Next Steps: You could build valid transactions and push them to your running BigchainDB Server using the [BigchaindB Python Driver](https://docs.bigchaindb.com/projects/py-driver/en/latest/index.html).
