Here's an example of how one could launch a BigchainDB cluster of 4 nodes tagged `wrigley` on AWS: Here's an example of how one could launch a BigchainDB cluster of four nodes tagged `wrigley` on AWS:
```text ```text
cd bigchaindb cd bigchaindb
cd deploy-cluster-aws cd deploy-cluster-aws
./startup.sh wrigley 4 ./startup.sh wrigley 4 pypi
``` ```
`startup.sh` is a Bash script which calls some Python 2 and Fabric scripts. Here's what it does: The `pypi` on the end means that it will install the latest (stable) `bigchaindb` package from the [Python Package Index (PyPI)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi).

`startup.sh` is a Bash script which calls some Python and Fabric scripts. The usage is:
