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).

That's it! 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).
